São Paulo perform at a high level so far being 4th in the table. Ceará can look both up and down from their 12th position.

Insights:

  • Ceará have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
