Team News

Criciuma
Flamengo
  • Wagner Lopes is likely to hand a debut to Cléber Santana here.
  • The 33-year-old is likely to start alongside Paulo Baier in attacking midfield.
  • Wellington Bruno could return to the bench to make way.
  • Vanderlei Luxemburgo could make a change or two to the side that beat Atlético Mineiro.
  • Eduardo da Silva could start after netting a goal off the bench.
  • Alecsandro is also available after suspension.

Prediction

  • Seemingly in deep trouble just a few weeks ago, Flamengo now appear to be on track for Série A survival.
  • The Rubro-Negro have won four of their last five under Vanderlei Luxemburgo, lifting them to 13th going into the weekend round.
  • Criciúma haven't picked up a victory since mid-July and are themselves in danger of slipping back into the relegation zone.
