Ceara welcome Novorizontino on Saturday, Sep 19 at 5:00 PM in a Serie B fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Ceara come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Novorizontino travel in mixed form (2W 0D 3L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Ceara and Novorizontino have split their 5 meetings almost evenly (2W–0D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Ceara won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Ceara win or a draw looks most likely.
