In the Serie B table, Ceara currently occupy 15th and Criciuma sit 5th, and the context adds genuine weight to what is already an intriguing fixture. Consistency has eluded Ceara in recent weeks, with DLWLW in their last five and a win rate of 28.57% that tells of an up-and-down campaign. Criciuma travel in decent nick, LLWLL in their last five and a win rate of 46.43% this season. One side has leaned on a miserly defence, the other on a free-scoring attack, and the meeting of those contrasting strengths promises an intriguing tactical subtext. On Wednesday night, Infantino was given the "full support" of FIFA's management board in a statement despite being forced to abandon his plan to sell stakes in a company to run the World Cup to private investors.

Wing play is likely to be central to the contest. Ceara will look to stretch the pitch and isolate their wide attackers, while Criciuma must find a way to compress the space and choke the supply lines. The winner came from a rare counter-attack by the new-look Spurs side, who defended well throughout with Andy Robertson making his first start and Jan Paul van Hecke on debut, as they battled to secure another win in pre-season.

Criciuma look well-equipped to take the points on the road, with a 1-2 victory well within their reach. More than just three points is on the line at the home ground — this is a fixture that could shape the narrative of both clubs' seasons. All I ever wanted to do was win a championship for the New York Giants.” Beckham Jr is likely to play in the Giants’ first preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings at MetLife Stadium next weekend.
