Home Record: 7-3-2

Since the 2-nil loss to Atletico Mineiro, the Tricolor Paulista has had quite the rocky experience, with a narrow 1-nil victory over Botafogo as a short-lived relief, before eventually crashing again in the 1-0 San-Sao derby last week. where they fell short against Santos FC.

São Paulo has triumphed in their last three home appearances, seizing victory from Vitoria (2-0), Atlético Mineiro (2-0), Botafogo (1-0). In twelve home games played, they have accrued seven wins, three stalemates, and two defeats

With the current difference of 27:24 goal statistic, they are comfortably perched in the seventh league position, with a propensity to leap towards better spots.

🏁 São Paulo: Lineup

In recent league games, Sao Paulo has stuck with a 3-4-1-2 lineup, fielding five midfielders and two frontmen. They, however, suffer from defensive porosity in quick situations, as seen from the identical 1-nil losses against LDU Quito in the Libertadores and the previous league game against Santos FC. All eyes are keen on Herna Crespo’s resolve to stick with three defenders as he returns to the drawing board in hopes of providing a quick extra man in the last lines.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (3-4-1-2): Rafael, Sabino- Arboleda-Franco, Diaz-Maia-Bobadilla-Rigoni, Rodriguinho, Ferreira-Luciano

Trying to recover from the 1-nil defeat to Juventude, Ceara settled for stalemates against Vasco Da Gama (2-2) and Bahia (1-1). Hopes were dashed against Bahaia since the team failed to capitalise on the last-minute momentum gained against Vasco Da Gama in the 2-2 jamlock.

Against Bahia, Leo Conde’s side took a lead three minutes into the first half’s injury time, before having things leveled out eleven minutes into the second half.

With two wins, four draws, and five losses, Ceara’s form away from home has been a poor one, with hopes of an elite finish to the season slowly diminishing from the incessant point drops and bare-minimum outcomes.

🏁 Ceará: Lineup

All suspended players who were sidelined in the match against Bhaia will return to the squad ahead of this clash—the likes of Rodriguinho, Richardson, and Fabian Souza. Luiz Otavo has not been cleared to return from his injury stint and will still be off the starting XI.

Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Ferreira, Nicoloas-Machado-Marlon-Ramos, Dieguinho-Sobral, Baya-Lorenco-Galeano, Aylon.

👤 Head Coach: Leo Conde

⛔ Out: Luiz Otavio

🎯 São Paulo vs Ceará Match Prediction 30 September 2025

Ceara’s fifteenth table placement already shows how much of a rough terrain they have plied in the league so far. However, a closer look at the performances shows how unfortunate they have been over the last league fixtures. Extremely narrow scorelines, knife-edge defeats and last-minute stalemates. Their dominance at home gives us confidence in a few corner kicks, a very narrow scoreline, and a probable victory for the homers.
