Cruzeiro is one of the most important teams of Brazilian football, which each season makes claims both in domestic and continental competitions.
In this season, the “blue” performs fairly modestly in the championship, taking into account the fact that it only ranked eighth in the rankings, impressing in Copa Libertadores, finishing first in a group with Racing Club, Vasco da Gama and Universidad de Chile.
The team led by Mano Menezes does not go through a great form, given the fact that it comes after five unsuccessful games, with three draws with Vasco da Gama, Parana and Corinthians, losing with Chapecoense and Corinthians.
On the other hand, we can not say about Atletico Paranaense that he is a great team, having a weaker lot than the opponent, so he starts with the second chance at the bookmakers, especially because he is disadvantaged by the fact that he will evolve away .
The team trained by Fernando Diniz has a weak season, given Brazil’s championship taking the penultimate place, being in danger of relegating to the second leg.
Atletico Paranaense is going through a very weak period, considering that he comes after 14 games in which he managed only one victory, against Santos, in this interval suffered no less than nine defeats.
Cruzeiro is undoubtedly the better team, both in terms of value and as evolutions this season.
The hosts have the advantage of the first hand win, when they have won 1-2, and in this dispute I expect to impose again, especially as the opponent goes through a very weak form.
So, basing on the above, I expect the Cruzeiro to look like a favorite and to win the victory and qualifying in the Brazilian Cup quarterfinals.
