Team News

Santa Cruz
America MG
  • Defender Neris has the mumps so will play no part here.
  • Wellington is expected to come into the back four to replace him.
  • Left-back Allan is still not ready to return from injury.
  • Defenders Alison and Roger have returned to training and could play here.
  • Right-back Jonas is also back in action.
  • But Osman has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to injury.

Prediction

  • 20th plays 19th in Recife as Série A's worst two sides battle for a bit of pride.
  • Santa Cruz have won just one of their last 18 Série A games, although they did stun América 3-0 in the reverse fixture.
  • The Rabbits have their tails up now, however, and are dreaming of safety once more after back-to-back wins.
