Bahia – Cruzeiro Preview: Potential Lineups, Team News, and Latest Form
Find all the key facts and updates on both teams here, including our predicted Bahia vs Cruzeiro lineups:
Bahia
After failing to notch a win in the last five games in Serie A, Bahia dropped down the standings and they are currently in the fifteenth place in the table with eight points from nine games, just one point ahead of the first team in the relegation zone. So, it's pretty clear that Bahia didn't have a great start of the season and that they will have to do much better if they want to avoid relegation battle altogether.
Meanwhile, Raul Gustavo, Marcos Victor, Matheus Bahia, and Yago Felipe are on the team's injury list at the moment.
Bahia Predicted Lineups:
Marcos – Hugo, Duarte, Kanu – Ryan, Thaciano, Rezende, Acevedo, Cicinho – Everaldo, Ademir
Cruzeiro
As a newly-promoted team, Cruzeiro had a solid start of the season and they are currently in the middle of the standings with thirteen points from nine games. In the last six matches in Serie A, Cruzeiro notched two wins, one draw, and three losses, so their form has been a bit inconsistent, even though that is not a bad haul for them as their main goals this season is to stay up in the top flight of Brazilian football.
When it comes to team news, Fernando Henrique and Wesley Gasolina remain on the sidelines through injuries right now.
Cruzeiro Predicted Lineups:
Cabral – William, Neris, Castan, Xavier – Luiz, Jussa, Vital – Wesley, Gilberto, Rodrigues

Player to Watch: Bruno Rodrigues
We already said that we expect this match to end in a draw, but there are players from these two teams who could break this deadlock and one of them is certainly Bruno Rodrigues, our player to watch.
Cruzeiro's forward has done well so far in Serie A, with two goals and two assists in nine appearances. So, Bahia will have to keep a close eye on Bruno Rodrigues in this match or they might pay the price like other teams that didn't focus on the Brazilian striker.
