Team News: Ceará
Fernandinho (Shoulder injury), Luiz Otávio (Torn knee ligaments), Bruno (Hip flexor problems), Richard (Achilles tendon rupture) and Richardson (Heel spur) aren’t available for Ceará boss Leo Condé.
In all likelihood, Vovô should make use of the 4-2-3-1 system this time, beginning the first half with Fernando Miguel, Fabiano, Marllon, Willian Machado, Matheus Bahia, Lourenço, Dieguinho, Aylon, Lucas Mugni, Pedro Henrique and Pedro Raul.
🗞️
Team News: Atlético Mineiro
Atlético Mineiro manager Cuca Stival has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Guilherme Arana (Hamstring injury), Cadu (Torn knee ligaments) and Tomás Cuello (Hamstring injury) are those who can’t be considered.
We’re of the thinking that Galo could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, giving starts to Everson, Natanael, Lyanco, Júnior Alonso, Rubens, Alan Franco, Patrick Silva, Rony, Gustavo Scarpa, Bernard and Hulk.
💡
Prediction
We’re thinking that Atlético Mineiro and Ceará should both be able to find the back of the net here although it’s difficult to select a clear winner.
Little in this one, and it’s almost too close to call. Our tip is therefore for a 1-1 draw when the full-time whistle blows.
