ℹ️ Team News: Cruzeiro

Cruzeiro boss Leonardo Jardim has to choose a team with limited availability. Matheus Henrique (Meniscus injury) and João Marcelo (Torn knee ligaments) are not ready for selection.

💡 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Vitoria will really need to work well to hit the back of the net against this Cruzeiro team who will likely win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.

We’re therefore seeing a hard-fought 0-1 winning margin for Cruzeiro at the end of this one.

It should be a good one.
