Cruzeiro, Recent FormCruzeiro will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 0-0 result against Cuiabá last time out. In that game they had 51% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Cuiabá who had 10 attempts and 2 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 5 and seen valuable points lost. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games; however, they have recorded 11 clean sheets from the 26 games played so far this season.
Having drawn their last 4 league games at home and having not won any of their last 6, Raposa will be keen to grab all 3 points in this fixture.
Flamengo, Recent FormFlamengo manager Mário Jorge will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Corinthians. They achieved 58% possession in that match and had 20 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Corinthians' tally of 14 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that Jorge will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 5 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
There will be mixed feelings from Rubro-Negro, having been undefeated in their last 4 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
On an individual basis, Giorgian de Arrascaeta is giving Flamengo's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Rubro-Negro will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Cruzeiro, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 10 meetings between the two.
In the league, Flamengo has a good track record when they travel to Cruzeiro, getting the better of them to win their last 2 games.
Cruzeiro 0 - 1 FlamengoCruzeiro manager Zé Ricardo has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Rafael Bilu (Achilles tendon), Rafael Elias (Knee), Wesley Gasolina (Knee), Ramiro Moschen Benetti (Meniscus) and Matheus Pereira (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With Allan Rodrigues de Souza (Ankle) being out for the rest of the season and Guillermo Varela (Knee) also unavailable in the shorter term, Flamengo manager Mário Jorge will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
