Cruzeiro, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Cruzeiro players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Fortaleza. They achieved 68% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Fortaleza's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 7, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 6 goals and some valuable points in the process. When playing at home, they have failed to score in their last 4 games and kept only 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games.
Cruzeiro will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at Estádio Mineirão, they've lost their last 4 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 4 games.
Sao Paulo, Recent FormSão Paulo will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 home win against Athletico Paranaense. Their share of possession in that meeting was 56%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Athletico Paranaense had 14 shots on goal with 5 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Jonathan Calleri will be hoping to create problems for Cruzeiro in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for São Paulo.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Cruzeiro sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 1-0.
Cruzeiro manager Pepa Marques da Costa has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Wesley Gasolina (Knee), Fernando Henrique (Knee) and Ramiro Moschen Benetti (Meniscus) are all currently out of contention for this game.
