📰 Team News: Atlético Mineiro
The Atlético Mineiro manager Gabriel Milito will be grateful to have no fitness worries to speak of coming into this match thanks to a fully injury-free squad ready to go.
We think that Galo look set to make use of the 4-4-2 system for this game with Everson, Renzo Saravia, Jemerson, Alan Franco, Guilherme Arana, Otavio, R. Andres Battaglia, Gustavo Scarpa, Federico Zaracho, Hulk and Paulinho.
🗞️ Team News: Cruzeiro
Cruzeiro boss Fernardo Seabra has some current player fitness concerns. Gabriel Veron (Torn thigh muscle) and Rafael Bilu (Achilles tendon rupture) miss out here.
We are inclined to think that Celeste could decide to make use of a 4-3-3 formation, settling for Anderson, William, Neris, Joao Marcelo, Marlon, Machado, Ramiro, Lucas Silva, Matheus Pereira, Rafael Silva and Arthur.

In this match, Atlético Mineiro certainly have the ability to get a couple of goals in this one when they come up against Cruzeiro, who won’t find it easy scoring a goal of their own.
