Match description

I assess that Ceará has a higher probability of winning. At home Ceará averages 16.83 shots and 6.33 on target per match and generates xG 1.93 with an average of 1.33 goals scored, whereas Avaí away averages 11.5 shots and 3.5 on target with xG 1.24 and 1.00 goal per match. In their last five matches Ceará scored 6 goals and averages 1.2 points per game, while Avaí scored only 4 goals and averages 0.4 points per game — the visitors conceded 9 goals compared to 7 for the hosts. Defensively Avaí concedes 1.5 goals on average away with xGAgainst 2.05, while Ceará at home concedes 1.33 goals with xGAgainst 1.12, indicating greater vulnerability of the visitors to goal-scoring situations. Additionally Avaí fail to score in 25% of away matches versus 17% for Ceará at home, so given the higher volume and quality of chances created by the hosts I forecast a Ceará victory.
