Ceará vs Grêmio Prediction: It won't be easy for Grêmio

Both teams have started the league on the right foot and will be looking to pick up points again. Newly promoted Ceará scored two early goals against RB Bragantino but conceded the equalizer in the last minute. Even so, 2-2 was a good result for the Cearenses. Grêmio hosted and beat Atlético Mineiro 2-1, a somewhat unexpected outcome since the visitors have a strong team this year.

Ceará

Coach Leo Condé claimed his players were exhausted to justify the game's final result in Bragança Paulista. Ceará had a very intense cycle, with eight games played in March. In the last month, the Vozão won the Campeonato Cearense, qualified for the Copa de Brasil third round, and played several games in the Copa do Nordeste. Ceará showed quality against Bragantino, but the final minutes were not good. Red Bull equalized in the 93rd minute and almost scored a third goal, but goalkeeper Bruno saved Ceará. In their first home match, the Cearenses will be looking to win against Grêmio in front of their fans.

Grêmio

In the opening round of the league, the Immortal beat Atlético-MG at the Arena 2-1, an encouraging result. The Miners started strongly and had a few chances to open the scoring but were wasteful. Grêmio was more efficient and scored in the 33rd minute through Arezo. Edenilson made it 2-0 just before half-time, leaving Atlético Mineiro in trouble. In the second half, the Rooster continued to look for a goal, which only came in the 75th minute through Rony. From then on, the pressure from the visitors increased, but the Gaúchos managed to secure the victory. In midweek, Grêmio played in the Copa Sudamericana and won 2-1, with goals from Arezo and Braithwaite. The opponent was Sportivo Luqueño, and the game took place in Asunción, the capital of Paraguay. Quinteros' men may feel a little tired against Ceará, but they will certainly be motivated.

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams played well in Round 1, so it's not easy to predict the outcome of this game. It's still too early to assess the true ability of the Brasileirão teams. Ceará and Grêmio scored and conceded goals in the first league fixture, which is a relevant statistic. Grêmio also scored and conceded in the Copa Sudamericana match, reinforcing the impression that the Porto Alegre side is attack-minded. I'm betting on both teams scoring.
