Cruzeiro, Recent FormPepa Marques da Costa will have some work to do building up his players after their 3-0 away thrashing at the hands of Grêmio. They came away from that fixture with 60% of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Grêmio managed 10 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Having scored 4 goals and conceded 9 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have been unable to score at home in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
