Ceara vs Flamengo Prediction and Betting Tips | August 3rd 2025

Ceará will host Flamengo at the Estádio Governador Plácido Castelo on Sunday in another round of the 2025 Brasileirao Série A campaign. The hosts will be hoping to build on their last result and get a positive result against the league leaders.

Ceará were not at their best but managed to complete a 2-1 comeback win over Cruizero to end their three-game losing streak and move into ninth position after 16 games played. The newly-promoted side have struggled to pick up consistent results for most of this season, having only won six league games so far, but will be satisfied to be in the top half of the table and will hope to widen their point gap from the relegation zone in the coming weeks.

Flamengo needed a 75th-minute deadlock breaker from Leo Ortiz to pick up a 1-0 win over Atletico Mineiro on Monday, marking their fourth win in their last five games. The visitors currently sit at the top of the table, two points above Cruizero, who have played one game more and will be targeting a win on Sunday to take a step closer towards ending their five-year wait for the league title.
