Team’s form: D-W-L
Ceará improved on an opening 2-2 deadlock against RB Bragantino in the surprising follow-up 2-0 home win over Gremio, seizing victory in both halves, courtesy of a 26th-minute inertia breaker and a converted scoring chance in the last minute. The Vozao fans went home blue last week in the pale 2-1 subjugation against Juventude, despite scoring the opening goal.
Head Coach Leo Conde’s squad has scored five goals in their last three league appearances while conceding four, latching in the eighth spot with four points, alongside four other opponents viz Cruzeiro, Bragantino, Botafogo, and Corinthians.
Ceará: Lineup
Ceara’s most frequented XI is expected to resume duty on the pitch against Vasco Da Gama. Ceara has some good players who may have earned the confidence of the home fans. Pablo Raul stands tall as a talisman, with registered goals in two of three recently played games. Fabiano Souza, right back for the team is another player envisaged as a threat in the squad. They push a 4-2-3-1 lineup ahead of this game, which is expected to morph into a 4-5-1 in extreme defensive situations. Goalkeeper Bruno, who has been called up in recent games, is expected to still mount his guard between the sticks.
🔖 Lineup: Bruno, Machado, Marlon, Matheus, F.Souza, Fabiano, Dieguinho, F.Sobral, Antonio Galeano, Pablo Raul.
⛔️Out: Fernandinho who suffered a shoulder injury against Gremio stays on the sidelines and is expected to return to training in mid-May.
Mugni’s absence will also be felt as he is expected to return to training in late April.
👤 Head Coach: Leo Conde
Ceará will wear white and black striped shirts on black shorts.

Vasco Da Gama: Form and Statistics
Team's Form: W-L-W
After a strong opening statement in the 2-1 victory against Santos FC the obstinate guests, Vasco Da Gama dusted off the 3-0 humiliation suffered against SC Corinthians in the game against Sport last week, courtesy of the work rate of Dimitri Payet’s replacement, Philippe Coutinho who supplied an assist to Rayan, scorer of the third goal, after Pablo Veggetti’s brace.
Fabio Carille’s tactic suffers defensive lapses, evident in the consecutive goal concession in three current league wicket exhibitions. Holding strong statements on their home fort, they look to change the narrative away from home, having lost their first game to Corinthians under strange clouds.
Currently, Gigante da Colina have inflicted as much damage to their challengers as they have suffered, and while the team stays perched in the fourth spot, they are closely followed by Fluminense and Juventude who also possess equal league standings.
Vasco Da Gama: Lineup
Coach Fabio Carille will field maestro Phillipe Coutinho ahead of Dmitri Payet, and Pablo Veggeti will remain stationed as the attacking arrowhead upfront, stirring confidence in the forward play. The only red strike beams in the lacklusterness of the defensive bunch, who do not seem capable of keeping their sorts together.

Ceara vs Vasco Da Gama Match Prediction 16, APRIL 2025
While Vasco Da Gama appears to be more studded with quality, the mentality of the defensive hosts oozes, “We will not go down without a fight!”
As consistency screams from the two sides, both fans are guaranteed of a thrill; but still, there can only be one winner. Despite the bookmakers taking chances on the home team to win against the visiting giants, the visitors who suffer great defensive mishaps may yet again concede. in this game.
+ My first prediction will be for Vasco Da Gama to score at least a goal at 1.60 odds from 1xbet; given the scoring prowess of the team, who have registered goals in all three recent league confrontations.
+ Our next best option will be for a First Half goal range :1-3 at 1.60 odds from Bet365. This option is piqued as solid, given the goal-scoring chase of the visitors who will be seeking to give themselves an advantage early in the game.
+ Lastly, a BTTS at 2.03 odds from Betway is a good bet, seeing as Ceara will be eager to test the mettle of the visitors who have conceded in the last three games.
