Player to watch: Paulinho
Paulinho salvaged a draw for Atletico Mineiro a few days ago in the first leg of their Copa Libertadores tie with San Lorenzo. He has been a thorn in Cuiaba's side in recent years, with four direct goal involvements (3 goals, 1 assist) in the last three encounters between these teams.
The former Bayer Leverkusen player has scored in three consecutive meetings with Cuiaba, he will look to extend that scoring streak when both teams square off against each other this weekend.
