Ceara vs Corinthians prediction 16.07.2025 | Serie A

Ceara won in the Fortaleza city derby in the previous Serie A round, and the head coach, Leo Conde, was very satisfied. He said, "Without a doubt, it is a very important victory. The competition is very difficult, and every point earned should be celebrated because it's difficult to win games in the Brazilian championship. And especially a derby, for everything it represents. Considering the competition as a whole, without a doubt, a very important victory. Leaving the context of the game itself and thinking about the championship in a broader sense, it's certainly a victory that gives us great peace of mind and confidence at this moment."

Ceara's Pedro Henrique and Pedro Raul got yellow cards in the previous league round and will skip the game against Corinthians. Also, Luiz Otavio and Richard will not play due to injuries.

Corinthians lost in the last round against Bragantino, and the head coach, Dorival Junior, lamented about the missed chances. He said, "I think the team is looking for it. If you look at most of our games here, we've had at least 60% possession, a high volume of play, and good opportunities, including inside the opponent's box, but the goal never came. There's no excuse for that; we have to keep working; that's what we're doing. We're putting a lot of effort into finishing, finishing, movement, and attacking the opponent's last line. That's all we have to focus on, with intensity, so we can find a way forward,"

Memphis Depay got another yellow card in the previous Serie A round and will not play against Ceara. He will join injured Yuri Alberto. The good news for Corinthians is that Andre Ramalho and Breno Bidon will return after serving suspensions.
