Team News

Cruzeiro
Vitoria
  • Fred could return to the side after being rested against São Paulo.
  • That could mean Hernán Barcos drops down to the bench.
  • The rest of the XI could remain the same, although there are options aplenty if Mano Menezes wants to rotate.
  • Vitória must do without the suspended Jeferson and Lucas Fernandes.
  • But Argentine defender Marcelo Benítez is available again.
  • He is likely to return on the left of the back four here.

Prediction

  • Vitória are not living up to their name at the moment: a run of six games without a win has left them in deep trouble at the foot of the table.
  • They're currently two points adrift of safety, but the fixtures aren't kind, starting with this tricky game against a demob-happy Cruzeiro side.
  • The Lions' best hope may like in the fact that Palmeiras, their opponents on the final day of the season, are likely to already have won the title by then.
