Team analysis: Cruzeiro

The home team is currently in 4th place, with 10 points won, after 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost away to Bragantino by (1-0). In the last match, they won at home against Vasco da Gama by (1-0). This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when playing in front of their fans, as in the last 30 matches they recorded 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses as visitors, with 13 goals scored and 20 conceded, against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 home losses, with 20 goals scored and 14 conceded. The team arrives at this meeting after a home victory over Vila Nova by (2-0). Cruzeiro won 6, tied 2 and lost 2 of their last 10 home games across all competitions. In 15 games, they conceded the first goal 9 times and never managed to turn the scoring around. Cruzeiro is performing well and sits in the G-4, but their home performance is not yet the most consistent. Playing at home, the expectation of the fans is for a victory, but the challenge will be significant against the championship leader. The team will need to present more organised and efficient football, seeking to control the match and minimise errors. An above-average performance will be necessary to balance the actions and aim for the three points. The strength of home advantage could be an important factor to try to surprise.
