Team News

Cruzeiro
Fluminense
  • Mano Menezes could switch things up after the cup game agains Grêmio.
  • Ramón Ábila and Rafael Sóbis are among those pushing for starts.
  • Mayke is edging closer to a return from injury.
  • Flu will have to do without defensive midfielder Pierre here.
  • Edson or Marquinho could come in as a like-for-like replacement.
  • Alternatively, Douglas and Gustavo Scarpa could shuffle into deeper roles with Marcos Júnior coming into the attack.

Prediction

  • It's likely to be all doom and gloom at the Mineirão on Sunday, with morale low for both Cruzeiro and Fluminense.
  • The hosts were knocked out of the Copa do Brasil in midweek, meaning they have little to play for in the remaining weeks of the season.
  • Flu have not won a game for a month, a run that has dented their hopes of reaching the top six come December.
