Team News

Bahia
Cruzeiro
  • Bahia must do without powerful centre-back Tiago this weekend.
  • He serves a ban after being sent off against América Mineiro.
  • Gregore is also suspended after picking up three bookings.
  • Sidnei Lobo is expected to give some squad players a run-out here.
  • Ezequiel is back from suspension, but Léo and Giorgian de Arrascaeta won't be risked.
  • Sassá, David and Raniel all look set to play in attack.

Prediction

  • The competition is still active, but this might just be the least consequential of all the weekend's games in Série A.
  • Hosts Bahia are safe in midtable and already starting to plan for 2019, with a replacement for the Palmeiras-bound Zé Rafael already a priority.
  • Cruzeiro have been taking things fairly lightly since winning the Copa do Brasil, which booked their place in next year's Libertadores.
