🗞️
Team News: Atletico PR
Availability isn’t a big problem, with just one fitness concern for the Atletico PR boss Luiz Scolari to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed group of players. Agustín Canobbio (Knock) is sidelined.
We think that Furação could use a 4-2-3-1 system for this game and select Bento, Khellven, Pedro Henrique, Nicolás Hernández, Pedrinho, Pablo Siles, Erick Carvalho, Marcelo Cirino, David Terans, Tomás Cuello and Pablo.

Team News: Red Bull Bragantino
From a largely available squad, there’s only the one fitness worry for the Red Bull Bragantino boss Maurício Barbieri to be concerned about. Emiliano Martínez (Achilles tendon problems) won’t be in action.
It’s our belief that Leão da Zona could decide to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation, going with Cleiton, Aderlan, Kevin Lomonaco, Natan Souza, Luan Cândido, Raul, Lucas Evangelista, Artur, Hyoran, Helinho and Jan Hurtado.
