Our Cruzeiro vs Ceara Prediction
Ceara haven't beaten Cruzeiro in the last two meetings and neither have they scored in the fixture. As they look to change that, they are faced by the fact they go into their next game in really poor form.
The visitors are coming off three straight losses and they failed to score in those defeats. Meanwhile, Cruzeiro have one of the strongest defences and come into this game having only conceded once in five league games. Our prediction for Cruzeiro v Ceara is for Cruzeiro to win to nil.
