Overview

• Kickoff is at 20:00 BRT at the Morumbi in the 25th round of the Brasileirão.
• São Paulo seeks to steady form after being knocked out by LDU and enters with absences such as Oscar, Calleri and Marcos Antônio, plus Matheus Alves suspended.
• Ceará arrives winless in recent rounds and in the lower half of the table, targeting points to pull away from danger.
• Reports diverge on Ceará’s availability list, with Terra citing goalkeeper Bruno Ferreira and others as out while ISTOÉ lists him and Richardson as starters.
• Aerial play looms large, with São Paulo and Ceará scoring most recent goals from crosses, and Ceará has never beaten São Paulo at Morumbi in the Brasileirão.
