Ceará will host Mirassol at the Estádio Governador Plácido Castelo on Wednesday in another round of the 2025 Brasileirão Betano Série A campaign. The hosts will be keen to return to winning ways this weekend to avoid falling further down the league table.
Ceará have been lackluster in recent weeks as they picked up back-to-back 1-0 losses against Corinthians and, more recently, Internacional, to make it four losses in their last five league games. Vozão had a decent start to the campaign on their return to top-flight football with only two losses in their first nine games, but have hit a rough patch recently and will need to turn things around soon or risk falling into the relegation zone by mid-season.
Mirassol are having a dream debut season in Serie A as they sit in seventh place and are three points clear of Wednesday’s hosts despite having played one game less. The Little Lion, who picked up a remarkable 3-0 win over a struggling Santos side on Saturday, are now on a six-game unbeaten streak with their last loss coming in early May and will remain optimistic to finish the season in the Copa Libertadores qualification spots.
Ceará vs Mirassol Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- The sides have met on four previous occasions going into this midweek’s meeting. Ceará have won one of those games, one ended in a draw, while Mirassol won the remaining two.
- Both sides have scored six goals each across their previous meetings.
- No team in the Brazilian top flight have fewer than Mirassol’s two league losses this season.
- The hosts have scored only 14 goals in the Brazilian top-flight this term. Only five teams have scored fewer, four of which currently occupy the drop zone.
- The visitors have scored 21 goals in the league this season. Only Flamengo and Cruizero (27) have scored more.
Ceará vs Mirassol Prediction
The sides are closely matched in terms of squad quality, but Vozão will need noticeable improvements in their recent form to get a win against a side in a much better place.
Leão da Alta will be confident to come away with a positive result to extend their unbeaten streak and will rely on their much better offensive record to ensure they secure maximum points this week.
Prediction: Ceará 0-1 Mirassol

Currently pursuing an engineering degree from the University of Ibadan, he conducts thorough research and ensures to be up-to-date with football news across the globe to create the most accurate previews.
A Manchester United fan, Jedidiah fell in love with football and the Red Devils since their UEFA Champions League triumph over Chelsea in 2008. He is a big fan of Robert Lewandowski and his historic performances from 2020, but feels that only Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe are capable of replicating the Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo rivalry. His all-time favorite manager is Carlo Ancelotti due to the Italian’s remarkable composure in difficult moments of a contest. Spain’s 1-0 win over Netherlands in the final of the 2010 FIFA World Cup is etched in his memory forever.
A true student of the game, Jedidiah relishes identifying hidden gems from lower-tiered leagues such as the EFL Championship and the Eredivisie. When not creating previews, he likes playing football and reading books.
