Ceará x América-MG: predictions
Before placing your bet, take into account all the elements involved in the match, such as team moments, lineups, retrospect and local factor.
Prediction: Ceará’s victory against América-MG
The game is vital for Ceará, which comes from three consecutive victories in the competition: Ceará 2 x 1 Paysandu, Ceará 2 x 0 Avaí and Botafogo-SP 1 x 4 Ceará. At home, Vôzão comes from seven consecutive victories.
América-MG, now without goals in Series B, only won two of their last six games of the season (EEDVDV) and the triumphs were at home. As a visitor, the team has had a series of two defeats (to Operário-PR and Amazonas)
Given this entire scenario, favoritism belongs to Ceará.

Ceará x América-MG: lineups
How do the two teams arrive for the match? Check it all out below!
Ceará lineup
Recalde and Facundo Castro remain in the medical department and out of combat. The team will have the return of Lourenço, who was suspended against Botafogo-SP for his third yellow card.
All tickets for the game have already been sold. The expectation is that Arena Castelão will receive 47 thousand fans.
Probable lineup for Ceará: Bruno Ferreira; Rafael Ramos, João Pedro, David Ricardo and Matheus Bahia; Richardson, Lawrence and Mugni; Saulo, Pulga and Aylon. Technical: Léo Condé.
América-MG lineup
The tendency is for coach Lisca to repeat the team that beat Ituano in the last round. Midfielder Benítez and striker Felipe Azevedo remain injured.
Regarding Lisca, there is a special flavor for the duel. He has great identification with Ceará and even won a bust from the club’s advisors for avoiding relegation in the 2018 Brasileirão.
Probable lineup for América-MG: Elijah; Mateus Henrique, Ricardo Silva, Lucão, Nicolas; Alê, Juninho, Elizari, Daniel Júnior; Rodriguinho, Brenner. Technical: Lisca.
