- Venue: Castelão (Fortaleza)
Ceara played in Serie B last season, and in 2025, it is hard to expect something more than fighting to stay away from the relegation battle. Ceara can be satisfied with eight points from the opening six league rounds. Last weekend, the team from Fortaleza played 1-1 at home against Sao Paulo. The guests finished the match with 60% ball possession and seven shots on goal more than Ceara, but the home side defended well and secured one point.
Palmeiras and Flamengo are the best teams in Brazil, and we should see a closer race in Serie A between these two teams this season. After the first six league rounds, Flamengo are first on the table, while Palmeiras follows them with one fewer point. Abel Fereira's team were on a fantastic run of seven wins in a row in all competitions until Sunday, when Palmeiras lost 1-0 at home against Bahia. The home side deserved more from that game as they ended with xG of 1.45, while the guests had only 0.56.
Ceara vs Palmeiras pick: Both teams to score - yes
Ceara scored at least one goal in 20 of the last 21 matches in all competitions. On the other hand, Palmeiras scored in seven of the previous eight games. We should expect goals on both sides in the upcoming cup tie.
