Brazil Serie A - Ceara vs Palmeiras Preview

Analysis:

Ceara and Palmeiras will give us an opening show for Brazil Serie A round 20 at Estadio Placido Aderaldo Castelo on Saturday night.

Ceara

Their three-match winning streak is ended by Juventude in the last game, which hurts their morale. Now they rank eleventh at the table of the League. Erick Flores Bonfim and Victor Luis Chuab Zamblauskas will be absent from injuries. Richard Candido Coelho is suspended due to red cards.

Palmeiras

They have a four-match winning streak after they defeated Internacional RS 2-1 in the last game. They are getting back in form since they were knocked out of Brazil Cup. They are the top at the table of the League now. However, they are in a poor condition as up to five key players are injured.

Verdict:

Palmeiras got 6W-1D-3L from Ceara in the past, which makes them have the psychological advantage. Besides, Palmeiras are in form while Ceara are in low morale. Thus Palmeiras are likely to win in the coming match.

Pick: 2
