Vasco da Gama vs Ceara Prediction and Betting Tips | September 14th 2025

Vasco de Gama and Ceara will trade tackles in a Brasileiro Serie A matchday 23 clash on Sunday (September 14th). The game will be played at Sao Januario.

The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 5-3 penalty shootout victory away to Botafogo following a 2-2 aggregate draw in the second leg of their Copa do Brasil quarterfinal tie. Both second-leg goals were scored in the first half, with the visitors going ahead through Nuno Moreira's 21st-minute strike while Alex Telles equalized from the spot in the 43rd minute.

Gigante da Colina will shift their focus back to the league scene, where their last game saw them claim a 4-1 home win over Bragantino.

Cera, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to Juventude. The game was seemingly destined to end as a draw, but Mandaca scored a last-gasp match-winner in the fifth minute of injury time.

The loss left the Fortaleza outfit in 11th spot in the standings, having garnered 26 points from 21 games. Vasco are 15th on 22 points.

Vasco da Gama vs Ceara Prediction

Goal difference is all that separates Vasco da Gama from the relegation zone. Their home form of late has not inspired confidence and a quick turnaround of results in front of their fans could be crucial to their survival hopes.

Cera's games tend to be cagey affairs, with five of their last six producing fewer than three goals.

Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.

Prediction: Vaso da Gama 1-1 Ceara
