Ceará vs Palmeiras: Prediction for the Match on December 07, 2025
In the final round of the Brasileiro Serie A, Ceará plays against Palmeiras at the Castelão grounds. With Flamengo already crowned champions, the top spot debate is over for Palmeiras, and the Verdao will play to secure their hold of the league's second spot. Although there is no guarantee, victory for Ceara could imply a last-minute finish as a group stage participant of the Copa Sudamericana.

Trapped between the G6 and the Z4, Ceara, who had only eleven wins in the last thirty-seven league games, which otherwise yielded ten draws and sixteen defeats, will be hopeful to conclude the season better than they began (the 2-2 tie to RB Bragantino). At the Castelao grounds, they have been extremely poor, winning seven of eighteen matches, while losing six and drawing five. Despite the piss-poor performance at home, their away performance was worse, with four wins, five stalemates, and ten losses.
A dip in form in Ceara’s last four matches have seen them lose to Internacional (2-1), and Mirassol (3-0), maintain a tie against Cruzeiro, and lose to Flamengo last week; a win that got the Mengao crowned as the Serie A Champions.
Victory for Ceara here could mean a last-minute inclusion in the Copa Sudamericana group stage qualifiers. Defeat, however, could relegate them to the Z4, the worst four seats on the table.

With two losses, two draws, and one win over the last five rounds, the Big Greens fumbled the top spot debate against Flamengo, who clinched seventy-eight points after their 1-0 win against Ceará last week.
In the last five matches, Palmeiras took only one win, last week’s victory against Atletico Mineiro. Vitor Roque’s inclusion in the starting lineup last week against Mineiro saw a momentum boost, which aided the 3-0 victory. Palmeiras took control of the game from start to finish, with a goal before the first ten minutes, another in the twentieth minute, and the last scored nine minutes before the final whistle.
On the road, Palmeiras played excellently, with ten wins in eighteen matches, where they lost six and drew two. Although Cruzeiro is in hot pursuit of the second spot, victory here guarantees that they finish in the second position of the Brasileirão, which is believed to have run its course.
🏁 Palmeiras: Lineup
Vitor Roque is back, having fulfilled his suspension ban, which was lifted on December 5th. Abel Ferreira plays with several players excluded due to injury and suspensions. Joaquin Piquerez picked a red card last week, and will serve his suspension on the bench.
🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Miguel, Jefte-Murilo-Gomz-Khellven, Sosa-Martinez-Pereira-Alan, Lopez, Vitor Roque
👤 Head Coach: Abel Ferreira
⛔ Out: Injured: Weverton, Paulinho, Lucas Evangelista, Felipe Anderson, Vitor Figuereido. Suspended - Joaquin Piquerez, Raphael Veiga
