Remo and Cruzeiro have met several times in recent years, and the last time was in Apr 26 when Remo lost at home 0-1, but the memory Remo fans still hold is the game where they beat Cruzeiro away 3-1 in Oct 21. This time it's different in that both just came through matches with opposite results. Cruzeiro went away and beat Grêmio 4-2 in Serie A on 18 Oct, while Remo drew at home with Bragantino 1-1 in Serie A on 19 Oct. These two results say more about the two teams' condition than the standings. Cruzeiro are the team in 4th place with 51 points from 31 matches. They play with real bite in attack, but there are still gaps to be seen in defense, especially early in the second half when they concede unusually often. Remo are in 19th place with 26 points from 31 matches and are scrapping to escape the lower zone. Their defense is stubborn in some spells, but there are frequent moments when they get opened up under sustained pressure. This game is likely to play out with Cruzeiro controlling the ball and pushing forward as the main aggressor, while Remo drop back into a defensive block and wait to counter. If Remo handle the home side's attacking moments and don't concede early, the game will stay within a range where they can hope, because Cruzeiro, though superior, don't close out every game easily.
