Team News

Cruzeiro
Flamengo
  • Regular right-back Ezequiel is suspended after picking up three yellow cards.
  • Utility man Lucas Romero will probably fill in for him here.
  • Giorgian de Arrascaeta and Dedé should be in the squad after returning from international duty.
  • Lucas Paquetá is available after serving a ban in midweek.
  • And Miguel Trauco should also be in the squad after returning from Peru duty.
  • He is unlikely to replace Renê at left-back, however.

Prediction

  • It's likely to be in vein, but at least Flamengo did their part in the so-called title race in midweek: their win over Grêmio stopped Palmeiras getting over the line with two games to go.
  • They will be disappointed to finish second, but it has been a good season all told, with only one shaky patch of form costing them in the end.
  • Cruzeiro have won five of their last six home games, and Mano Menezes especially will be relishing the chance to inflict some pain on his former employers.
