Team News

Ceara
Parana Clube
  • Samuel Xavier and Richardson both miss out for Ceará here.
  • They are suspended after booking in Monday night's draw with Fluminense.
  • Arnaldo and Edinho are possible replacements.
  • Dado Cavalcanti welcomes back four players from suspension.
  • Andrey, Richard, Alex Santana and Silvinho were all absent against Palmeiras.
  • Youngster Keslley will be hoping to keep his place after scoring against Palmeiras.

Prediction

  • Ceará climbed to 14th in the standing with a 0-0 draw at Fluminense in the Monday night game, and now have a massive chance to end their relegation fears.
  • A win at home against Paraná should not be beyond them, and would take them to 42 points – surely enough to ensure their Série A status given the number of teams struggling.
  • Yet Paraná have caused issues for a few teams recently, including runaway league leaders Palmeiras at the weekend, so this isn't a gimme.
