Team News

Cruzeiro
Palmeiras
  • Robinho left injured against Grêmio and will join Dede and Rodriguinho on the sidelines.
  • Ariel, Egídio and Edílson will serve suspension on Sunday. Only the former pair were expected to start and will likely be replaced by Jádson and Dodô here.
  • Marquinhos Gabriel might be restored to the sarting XI after serving a match ban, replacing David.
  • Gustavo Gómez, Gustavo Scarpa, Hyoran and Vitor Hugo will miss out through injury here
  • Dudu netted a brace in midweek and will push for a start up front.
  • Zé Rafael and Willian will contend for a starting spot on the right wing.

Prediction

  • Cruzeiro failed to get points from their trip to Porto Alegre on Thursday and could actually be relegated for the first time in their history if they fail to beat Palmeiras on the Sunday. Pressure will be on for Adílson Batista's men.
  • Palmeiras turned in a convincing 5-1 win over Goiás in midweek and are still aiming to surpass their rivals Santos into second place.
  • Cruzeiro's need to win will turn this into an open match with chances at both ends of the pitch. Having a better team, Palmeiras should get the win.
