Prediction

  • Palmeiras are still the only unbeaten side in the league at the moment, however, they are specialists in draws. They have drawn their last three games and will be hoping for a win at some point. In midweek they enjoyed an impressive 5-0 rout over Bolivar in the Copa Libertadores. This was the first time since March they have scored more than three goals in a game and they will be hoping to use this as momentum going into the game with Ceara. In their last league match, they drew 1-1 at home to Flamengo, a disappointing result considering Flamengo had several key players missing.
  • Ceara last time out in the league drew 2-2 with Goias. After conceding an early goal they managed to turn things around with goals from Charles and Vinicius. However, late on a mistake from Fernando Prass saw Deivid equalise, a result Ceara with be disappointed with having been so close to victory.
  • Ceara did not learn from their mistake at the weekend. In midweek they lost to rivals Fortaleza in the Campeonato Cearense as Ceara failed to hang on and ended up losing 2-1. They will be hoping to improve against Palmeiras.
