Ceará and Cuiabá face off in critical Série B relegation battle
Cuiabá and Ceará are set to face each other this Saturday at Arena Castelão in a critical Série B matchup. The two teams are separated by only one point in the standings, with Cuiabá in 15th place (26 points) and Ceará in 16th (25 points), making the game a vital battle to distance themselves from the relegation zone.
Cuiabá enters the match seeking to break a five-game winless streak. The team faces potential absences, including Fábio Gomes due to a muscle injury and the uncertain status of Alan Empereuer. Meanwhile, Ceará, managed by Daniel Paulista, will be without Vinícius Zanocelo and João Gabriel due to suspension.

His longevity places him among the longest-serving coaches in Brazil's top three divisions. Additionally, Alexandre Lemos has been appointed as the new coach for Cuiabá’s U-17 squad.
