Ceara host Vila Nova on Sunday, Apr 26 at 11:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 2 points in the Serie B, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Ceara come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Vila Nova, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 2D 0L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

History strongly favours Ceara here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Vila Nova, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Ceara won 4–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Ceara a slight edge, but Vila Nova are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
