Fluminense – Cruzeiro preview: Team form, news, and potential lineups
Check out the latest news and updates on both teams here, including the most likely Fluminense vs Cruzeiro lineups:
Fluminense
With four victories in the last seven matches in Serie A, Fluminense has done well recently and they are currently sitting in the sixth place in the Serie A standings. However, they enter this game after a convincing loss to Vasco in the last round and they will be looking to get back on the right track in this match.

Fabio – Barbosa, Melo, Braz, Xavier – Keno, Arias, Alexsander, Andre – Cano, Kennedy
Cruzeiro
After eight rounds without a win, Cruzeiro ended this streak with an emphatic victory over Santos in a 3-0 trashing away from home. Overall, Cruzeiro remains five points clear of the relegation zone at this moment. Ramiro, Matheus Pereira, Rafael Bilu, and Wesley Gasolina are out with injuries right now.
Cruzeiro predicted lineup:
Cabral – Marion, Castan, Neris, William – Vital, Silva, Jussa – Rodrigues, Gomes, Papagaio

Player to watch: German Cano
Since we expect to see Fluminense winning this match, our player to watch comes from their side and it is their experienced forward German Cano.
Despite his advanced age, the Argentinian striker has been one of the team's top performers this season and he scored seven goals in Serie A so far. With that in mind, Cruzeiro have to be wary of Cano in this duel.
