Team News

Cruzeiro
Flamengo
  • Dédé resumed full training in midweek and will feature from the start since Léo picked up a clavicle injury against Palmeiras last weekend.
  • Ariel Cabral and Rodriguinho are also injury concerns. None of them, however, were expected to start.
  • Diego and Lincoln are still struggling with injuries and will not feature here.
  • Gabriel Barbosa netted the winner in a six pointer against Santos and will be full of confidence here.

Prediction

  • Cruzeiro were comprehensively defeated by Palmeiras last time around. However, they’ve done well and will be hopeful of keeping their performance levels up against another title contender.
  • Flamengo are the most confident side in Serie A right now. They’re on a six-match winning streak that have put them three points clear at the top of the table. They will therefore be difficult to beat here.
