Ceara vs Internacional Prediction and Betting Tips | 2nd July

The Brasileiro Serie A continues this weekend and will see Ceara host Internacional at the Estadio Castelao on Saturday night in the 15th matchday of the Brazilian top-flight.

Ceara have struggled for results domestically of late, losing 2-0 to Fortaleza in the first leg of their Copa do Brazil last 16 tie before playing out a dour 1-1 home draw against Atletico Goianiense in their last league game. However, they returned to winning ways last time out, beating The Strongest 2-1 in their Copa Sudamericana clash on Wednesday.

The hosts sit 15th in the league standings, with just 17 points from 14 games. They will be looking to build on their recent continental exploits when they play at the weekend.

Internacional have performed well in the Brasileiro Serie A this season and are pushing for their first league title in over four decades. They returned to winning ways in the league last Saturday, beating Coritiba 3-0 via goals from Taison, Edenilson and Alexandre Alemao.

The Colorado have picked up 24 points from 14 games this season and sit fourth in the table. They are five points behind league leaders Palmeiras and will be looking to reduce that gap with a win this weekend.
