With an undefeated streak of four games (three wins and a draw), Galo is in ninth position with 43 points and wants to reduce the distance with the G-7 (Fluminense – 51 points).
For Leão do Pici, however, the fight is different. The team is in the penultimate position with 30 points and desperately needs to win again, after three consecutive draws, in order not to fall behind Vitória (16th place with 35 points).
Regarding the last match (2 x 2 with Grêmio), coach Martín Palermo opted for the inclusion of Lucas Gazal, Herrera and Deyverson instead of Brítez, Pochettino and Bareiro, respectively, in Fortaleza.
Meanwhile, at Atlético-MG, after a 4 x 2 victory over Sport, coach Jorge Sampaoli chose to place Ruan, Alexsander, Saravia, Bernard, Dudu, Arana and Hulk in the places of Román, Alonso, Natanael, Alan Franco, Fausto Vera, Caio Paulista and Biel, respectively.
