The Vozão lost in the last round to Bahia but came very close to bringing home a point. In Salvador, the Baianos struggled to create chances against a Ceará side that was very well organized on the pitch. Bahia scored in the last minute through captain Éverton Ribeiro from a penalty that the VAR spotted. Pedro Henrique, who had just come on for Ceará a few minutes earlier, hit the Fortaleza striker slightly on the foot, unbalancing him. Leo Condé, the Ceará coach, criticized the refereeing and said that Éverton Ribeiro should have been sent off earlier. Regardless of whether the penalty was fair, Ceará didn't deserve to lose the game. The Fortaleza team completely neutralized Bahia's attacking moves. Ceará is in fifth place with seven points, seven goals scored, and six conceded. The Blacks & Whites are playing well, and if they keep it up, they can avoid relegation, the main goal for the Northeastern club. In the middle of next week, Ceará will face Palmeiras at home in the most important clash of the Copa do Brasil third round.
Ceará: Lineup
The right-back Fabiano Souza picked up his third yellow card and cannot play. Condé should keep almost the same starting eleven because none of the injured players have recovered

São Paulo: Form and statistics
In midweek, São Paulo beat Libertad in the Copa Libertadores and picked up its second straight win. The Paulistas won 2-0 in Paraguay with goals from Lucas Ferreira and André Silva and took a giant step towards qualification for the next stage. Zubeldía's team is starting the league on a low note, but the results in the South American competition are giving the fans hope. São Paulo's finances are not exactly healthy, and there has been little investment in players. Zubeldía has built a tactically sound team, and the results haven't been bad since the Argentine arrived at the club. Injuries to creative players like Lucas Moura and Oscar have also reduced the team's attacking potential. In the last Série A game, the Tricolor beat Santos at home 2-0 to record its first league win after four draws. Only Palmeiras, Flamengo, and São Paulo have yet to lose in the Brasileirão. Another victory in Fortaleza against Ceará could give São Paulo great confidence.
São Paulo: Lineup
Arboleda and Calleri are injured and have joined the list of unavailable players. Matheus Alves picked up his third yellow card against Santos and is suspended.
🔖São Paulo starting lineup (3-4-1-2)
Rafael – Ferraresi, Ruan Tressoldi, Franco – Cédric, Alisson, Marcos Antônio, Wendell – Luciano – Ferreirinha, André Silva
⛔️Out: Arboleda, Calleri, Lucas, Oscar, Pablo Maia, Luiz Gustavo (injured), Matheus Alves (suspended)
👤Head Coach: Luis Zubeldía
