LLLLWL

After a loss in their previous game against Universidad Católica in Copa Libertadores competition, Barcelona SC and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In those matches, Ídolo del Ecuador have also seen the collective goal tally of opposing teams equal 10. Let’s see whether or not that trend will be continued on in this game.

ℹ️ Team News: Cruzeiro

Kauã Prates (Hamstring injury) and Cássio (Torn knee ligaments) aren’t available for Cruzeiro boss Artur Jorge.

It’s our opinion that Celeste will possibly go for a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, beginning the first half with Otavio Costa, Fagner, Fabricio Bruno, Jonathan Jesus, Kaiki, Matheus Henrique, Lucas Daniel Romero, Christian Cardoso, Matheus Pereira, Luis Sinisterra and Kaio Jorge.

🗞️ Team News: Barcelona SC

Thanks to a fully healthy squad available to choose from, the Barcelona SC boss Segundo Castillo does not have any fitness worries to report ahead of this match.

We are inclined to think that Ídolo del Ecuador seem most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Jose Contreras, Bryan Carabali, Cristian Baez, Alex Rangel, Hector Villalba, Milton Aaron Celiz, Matias Lugo, Jandry Gomez, Jhonny Quinonez, Ronald Perlaza and Jefferson Wila.

💭 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Cruzeiro can get the goals that they need when they line up against Barcelona SC, who might well find it a difficult task scoring a goal of their own.

Our tip is for a decent 2-0 winning margin for Cruzeiro at the end of this one.
