Cruzeiro, Recent FormPaulo Autuori will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 6 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 4 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Estádio Mineirão.
There will be mixed feelings from Raposa, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Botafogo, Recent FormThey may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 7 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 but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
A win for Botafogo is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 11 games.
On an individual basis, Júnior Santos will be looking to cause Cruzeiro some problems having scored 2 goals in Botafogo's last 6 away games in the league.
It was a 0-0 draw last time these two met, so not one to look back on fondly, with both sides taking away just a single point for their troubles.
It's been a very long time since Estrela Solitária came to Estádio Mineirão in the league and scored a goal, having left goalless in their last 5 visits.
Both teams will be looking for a breakthrough in this fixture, with the last 4 times they've met ending in a draw, although Cruzeiro will take some comfort in being unbeaten in this fixture for 10 games.
Cruzeiro 0 - 0 BotafogoBotafogo 3 - 3 CruzeiroThere is only really one injury concern for the Cruzeiro manager Paulo Autuori ahead of this clash, with Gabriel Veron (Achilles tendon) missing out, which gives Autuori a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Botafogo manager Tiago Nunes has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
