Cruzeiro

Cruzeiro is in fifth place in the Serie A standings, with 20 points from 11 matches played. The team has six wins and three losses. The "Blues" are four points behind first place, but Cruzeiro has one game in hand.

In the last round, Cruzeiro defeated Atletico Paranaense 2-0. This victory was their third in the last five rounds, with only one loss during that period. In six away matches, the "Blues" have secured only one win, losing three times.
