Cruzeiro Eyes Top 3 in Brasileirão Clash
24 Oct
Summary
- Cruzeiro hosts Remo for a crucial Brasileirão match.
- Cruzeiro aims to climb to third place with a win.
- Remo is fighting to stay alive in the league survival battle.
Matchday 32 of the 2026 Brasileirão commences this Friday, October 23rd, with Cruzeiro facing Remo at the Mineirão stadium at 8 p.m. (Brasília time). This pivotal clash sees Cruzeiro, sitting fourth in the league with 51 points, aiming to secure a third-place position. A win would be crucial as Athletico, currently with 53 points, has yet to play their fixture.
Remo, languishing in 19th place with 26 points, is fighting intensely for league survival, viewing this match as one of their final opportunities. Their away record of two wins, four draws, and nine defeats contrasts sharply with Cruzeiro's strong home performance of eight wins, four draws, and three defeats.
Cruzeiro will be without João Marcelo due to suspension, while Fabrício Bruno returns to the starting lineup. Felipe Morais is sidelined with muscle discomfort. Remo welcomes back Marcelo Rangel from suspension and Cameroonian Tchamba after international duty, but still faces significant absences, including the suspended Taliari and the injured trio of Maik, Pikachu, and Poveda.
