The clash of the titans is upon us with Red Bull Bragantino squaring off against Ceará. The goalie information for Ceará is out on a coffee break, so we'll just stick to what we know, shall we?
For Red Bull Bragantino, the goalkeeping duo of Fabricio with a 7.30 rating and 5 saves, and Cleiton with a 7.29 rating with 108 saves are keeping the house in order.
On the players' front, something tells me Alerrandro, Jhon Jhon, and Eduardo Sasha will play key roles in this match for Bragantino, with stats that would make a stone-cold noviciate flutter in awe. I mean, look at Alerrandro, with last season giving us a delightful 15 goals and 30 shots on goal.
Ceará has their own line-up of attention-grabbers. Fernando Sobral shines with 4 shots on goal and a commendable 79.1% accurate pass rate. Rômulo and Marllon, while they haven’t been breaking the net, their performances are nevertheless noteworthy.
A look at past performance finds memories of exciting stalemates, with these teams failing to manage a goal when they last met on Thu Jul 01 2021. The entire match was about as exciting as watching grass grow.
As for bragging rights, Bragantino had a hot and cold run last season with a 10-14-14 record. Ceará, you ask? They were playing hide and seek or something, nothing on record from last season.
Besides, although recent results paint a confusing image with both teams performing inconsistently, Bragantino's latest victories might just tip the scale in their favor.
All things vehemently considered and tallied, leading the charge with potential and reinforced by higher previous season performance, I predict this time, the heavy metal bull might just prove edgy.
