Maracana vs Ferroviario tips and predictions

Unfancied hosts could be banana skin

There's not much between Maracana and Ferroviario in the Campeonato Cearense. The hosts are in second place with 7 points, compared to their opponents who are in fourth place on 5 points.

The short price for Ferroviario renders them unbackable. Maracana don't look likely to get the win but they might cause the visitors plenty of problems. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick and the draw odds available in the match winner market look like pretty good value.

These sides have impressed at the back. In their last 3 matches Maracana have only conceded 0.7 goals, while Ferroviario have only conceded 0.6 goals per game on average in their last 18 away matches.

If Ferroviario stamp their authority on the match they are likely to keep things tight at the back. It isn't standout value but the No BTTS bet could be sensible.

Maracana have drawn 4 of their last 9 matches on their own soil added to the fact that Ferroviario have drawn 10 of their last 15 matches. The feeling is it will be a low-scoring affair but with nothing of note in the match odds for either team, the value offered up by the draw price makes it the play for this clash.
