While the hosts are currently sitting in fifth place in the table on 12 points from six matches, the visitors find themselves down in 18th position on four points on the same number of games.

Cruzeiro will enter the contest sitted one point behind fourth-placed Atletico Mineiro and six adrift of league leaders Botafogo, who have both played a game more.

Pepa’s side came out on top 4-0 in their last Serie A match at Estadio Raimundo Sampaio against America Mineiro on May 15, before they went on to play out a 1-1 draw away at Gremio in the Copa do Brasil last time out.

Cuiaba suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Fluminense at Estadio Jornalista Mario Filho (Maracana) in their last league matches, leaving them in 18th place, two point behind Vasco da Gama who are sitting just outside the relegation zone in 16th position.

After picking up a 2-1 victory away at America Mineiro in the first week of May, Cuiaba have gone on to lose two successive league matches, going down 4-0 at home to Atletico Mineiro on May 11 before their loss last time out.

The two teams played out a goalless draw in their last meeting, a Serie B match at Estadio Raimundo Sampaio in December 2020.
