Fortaleza vs Cuiaba Lineups, Team News, and Match Preview
Fortaleza
The hosts have been protecting their home field very well this season being one of only three teams who haven't lost in front of their fans. Fortaleza won four times while drawing on three occasions. Vinicius Zanocelo is doubtful for the match.
Provisional lineup: Joao Ricardo, Bruno Pacheco, Titi, Marcelo Benevenuto, Britez, Pochettino, Thiago Galhardo, Marinho, Hercules, Caio Alexandre, Lucero.
Cuiaba
Not even the fans expected Cuiaba to fight for a larger role in Serie A this season, but having the team outside the relegation zone is good news. Cuiaba has a five-point advantage over teams in the danger area. Uendel, Lucas Mineiro, and Filipe Augusto are expected to miss the game.
Provisional lineup: Walter, Rikelme, Alan Emperur, Marlion, Matheus Alexandre, Ceppelini, Denilson, Raniele, Iury Castilho, Deyverson, Jonathan Cafu.
Player to Watch: Yago Pikachu
We don't get to see very often a situation when the team's best scorer is someone from the defensive line. That is the case with the 31-year-old Yago Pikachu who has scored three goals this season from his position at the right side of defense. That stat is even more impressive considering that Pikachu barely starts any game for Fortaleza and he played in less than half of all the minutes available.
Pikachu has been on loan to the Brazil club from Japan's Shimizu with the deal ending at the finish line of the current calendar year. Previously during his career, Pikachu played for Paysandu and Vasco da Gama. In two stints with Fortaleza, the defending right back has accumulated 138 appearances with 37 goals scored alongside 24 assists.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
