Brazil Seríe A: Cruzeiro x Cuiaba, Match Preview, Team News, Odds and Predictions(13/06/2024)

On Matchday 8 of the 2024 Brazilian top-flight campaign, Cuiaba will seek their second victory as they visit Mineirão.

Cruzeiro x Cuiabá Team News

Due to his suspension, Cruzeiro head coach Fernando Seabra will not have Marlon Xavier this week.

As was previously reported, the defender was shown a straight red card during the first half of last weekend's loss to Sao Paulo.

Mateus Vital, Juan Dinenno, and Arthur Gomes are among the hosts' absentees due to injury.

Cuiaba head coach Petit is expected to resist the urge to change his starting lineup after his team wins over Criciuma without suffering any injuries.

Clayson has scored two of the five league goals Cuiaba has scored this season; Isidro Pitta, Ramon, and Max have each scored one.

Head To Head And Previous Matches

After losing to Sao Paulo last weekend, the hosts are under pressure to respond, ending their six-game winning streak in all competitions. With barely five minutes played, Fernando Seabra's team trailed, and a red card for Marlon Xavier roughly thirty minutes later guaranteed no recovery. Even after the loss, Cruzeiro is still in the top half of the standings; however, things would be different if they lost again this week.

Cuiaba, meanwhile, won only their third game of the season, defeating Criciuma 5–2. After that triumph, Petit's team dropped to the bottom of the standings, and this week, they will try to improve their chances of staying up by beating Cuiba again at Mineirão.

Cruzeiro had the second-best defense last season, even though they finished in 13th place, and they have continued in that manner this season. The hosts had four clean sheets from their previous five games, and several of them concluded with under 2.5 goals.
