The team’s home form is especially strong, having not lost at Neo Quimica Arena in several months. Their ability to perform under pressure, especially in close games like their victory over Vitoria, will likely give them an edge in this match.
Cruzeiro Results
Cruzeiro’s recent performances have been inconsistent, but they are coming off a solid victory over Criciuma. Despite their struggles away from home, they will look to take inspiration from their earlier win over Botafogo. Below are the recent results of Cruzeiro:

| 09.11.24 | SA | Cruzeiro vs Criciuma | 2-1 | W |
