Ponte Preta - Ceara predictions and free betting tips [26/06/2024]

The Brazilian Série B Championship match kicks off, featuring Ponte Preta and Ceará.

Ponte Preta

Ponte Preta has played 11 official matches in the 2024 Brazilian Série B Championship. They have accumulated 12 points from these 11 matches, placing them in the 16th position on the league table. Unfortunately, Ponte Preta did not start the 2024 season successfully.

Throughout these 11 matches, Ponte Preta secured only 3 victories against Amazonas, CRB (Regatas), and Novorizontino. In the remaining matches, Ponte Preta either lost or managed to secure just a single point. Consequently, Ponte Preta is clinging to their place just outside the relegation zone by virtue of additional criteria. 

Ceará

Ceará has also participated in 11 official matches in the 2024 Brazilian Série B Championship, gathering a total of 16 points, which places them in 11th position on the league table. While Ceará didn’t start the current season in spectacular fashion, it isn't fair to label their performance as a failure. In these 11 matches, Ceará managed to secure 4 victories, keeping them safely away from the relegation zone.

Ceará’s victories come in sequences of two matches each. However, Ceará struggles to sustain their winning momentum, and recently, they have suffered two consecutive defeats. Their most recent match ended in a draw against Sport Recife. 

Head-to-Head Encounters

In their last 5 encounters, both teams exchanged victories. Ceará has won twice, but the last 2 matches between these sides have ended without determining a winner.

Total Goals Prediction

The total goals for this match will be under 3. Both teams are not in their best form and have not been scoring much in recent matches, indicating a low-quality performance overall.

Match Prediction: Ponte Preta vs. Ceará

Ponte Preta will win. Despite Ceará's relatively better start to the championship, their recent match performances suggest a form crisis that could significantly influence the outcome of this upcoming match.
