Flamengo vs Ceará Prediction: Time to celebrate

Flamengo vs Ceará: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on December 04, 2025

After winning the Copa Libertadores, Flamengo can become the Brazilian champion with a win over Ceará.

Flamengo: Form and statistics

Carnival started early in Rio de Janeiro with Flamengo's victory in the Copa Libertadores final. Flamengo beat Palmeiras 1-0 in Lima, Peru, becoming the first Brazilian club to win the competition four times. Palmeiras, Santos, São Paulo, and Grêmio dreamed of achieving this feat, but it was Flamengo that reached the Tetra first. Brazil tied Argentina with 25 titles in total. Filipe Luís' team was the best at the Monumental "U" and deserved the victory. The Cariocas were the most dangerous on the pitch and gave Palmeiras no space. The Paulistas did not hit the target once in the entire game. The game was tactical as expected, but Flamengo could have scored in the first half with shots from Bruno Henrique and Samuel Lino. In the second half, Murilo missed a pass at the back, and Arrascaeta came very close to opening the scoring, but Gustavo Gómez, the captain of Palmeiras, managed to intercept the Uruguayan's shot. In the 67th minute, Danilo scored the winning goal. Following a corner, the veteran jumped higher than everyone else and headed the ball into the back of the net. Palmeiras had a great chance to equalize in the 88th minute, but Vitor Roque incredibly missed, shooting over the bar. In the upcoming game against Ceará, Maracanã will celebrate this achievement and probably also the Brasileirão title.

Ceará: Form and statistics

Ceará drew 1-1 at home with Cruzeiro and remains in a delicate situation in the table. The Vozão is in 14th place with 43 points, just two points above the relegation zone, and will face Flamengo and Palmeiras in the final two rounds. The Cearenses have to do something surprising against the top two in the table or else wait for bad results from at least two direct opponents. Cruzeiro dominated the first half at the Arena Castelão and had several chances to open the scoring. Bruno Ferreira, Ceará's goalkeeper, was decisive in helping his team reach halftime with 0-0. The second half began with another save by Bruno Ferreira, and in the 56th minute, Ceará scored. After an assist from Mugni, Zanocelo fired a low shot from outside the area to make it 1-0 for the home side. However, in the 71st minute, Cruzeiro equalized with an own goal by Willian Machado. Kaiki Bruno crossed into the six-yard box, and the ball deflected off the center back, ending up in the back of the net. In the last minute, Galeano had an excellent chance to make it 2-1 for Ceará, but he shot wide.
