It’s our opinion that Cuiabá could employ a 3-2-4-1 formation for this game, handing starts to Walter, Marllon, Bruno Alves, Alan Empereur, Matheus Alexandre, Rikelme, Clayson, Fernando Sobral, Denilson, Derik Lacerda and Isidro Pitta.

ℹ️ Team News: Atlético Mineiro

Thanks to a fully healthy squad available to choose from, the Atlético Mineiro manager Gabriel Milito doesn’t have any fitness worries to speak of before this match.

We’re of the thinking that Galo could decide to play in a 4-4-2 formation with a starting lineup of Everson, Renzo Saravia, Bruno Fuchs, Mauricio Lemos, Gustavo Scarpa, Alisson Santana, Otavio, Alan Franco, Federico Zaracho, Eduardo Vargas and Paulinho.
