Team News

Athletico Paranaense
Cruzeiro
  • Tiago Nunes is expected to rest players with the Copa Sul-Americana in mind.
  • The likes of Wanderson, Camacho, Guilherme and Marcinho could again be in line for starts.
  • There are no bans or injuries to work around.
  • Defender Murilo is likely to be out for the rest of the season.
  • He underwent surgery on a shoulder problem this week.
  • Bruno Silva is available again, but Rafinha is still struggling with a knock.

Prediction

  • Atlético Paranaense won't be placing a huge amount of importance on this game; their Copa Sul-Americana tilt take priority.
  • A 2-0 win over Fluminense in midweek took them to the brink of the final, and they can smell their maiden continental title.
  • Cruzeiro have nothing much to play for, having sealed a Libertadores place by winning the Copa do Brasil, but are in decent form and could take advantage.
