Cruzeiro
DLWWLL
Cruzeiro will be wanting a better result here after the 3-0 Serie A loss in their previous game against Internacional.
In that match, Cruzeiro had 32% possession and 6 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. For their opponents, Internacional got 24 shots on goal with 11 of them on target. Alan Patrick (31'), Enner Valencia (37') and Rafael Borré (77') scored for Internacional.
It’s been seldom in recent games that Cruzeiro have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Cruzeiro have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 7 goals during that time. Despite that, we’ll just have to find out whether the trend will be sustained in this next game.

Prediction
Our feeling is that Mushuc Runa have the firepower to breach the defence of this Cruzeiro lineup, although that isn’t expected to be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We’re tipping a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 advantage for Cruzeiro at full-time. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
