Cruzeiro vs Atlético-PR Today’s Soccer Prediction
Cruise
In the period of 32 days of paralysis of the national competitions involving the teams of Series A of the Brazilian Championship, the Cruzeiro suffered a major low in the attack. Sassá had to undergo surgery and will be away for about three months. Before, in the Minas Gerais Championship, the team had lost Fred, who should only return to act at the end of the year or in the 2019 season.
The lack of a ‘matador’ made the team run for reinforcements and come to pay a salary of $ 400,000 per month to Argentinean Hernan Barcos, the Pirate, who has had tickets for Palmeiras and Grêmios and was in LDU, Ecuador . The athlete, however, is not yet available.
As the registration period for players who were in the interior will be opened on Monday, Mano Menezes still can not count on the Boats in the match against the Hurricane. Thus, the options for the command of the attack are the young Raniel or the veteran Rafael Sóbis.
However, as soon as the athlete’s name appears in the Brazilian Football Confederation’s (CBF) Daily Newsletter, he will be allowed to play not only Serie A but also the Brazil Cup – if Cruzeiro qualifies – and the Copa Libertadores of America, where the miners are in the last 16.
Who will strengthen the squad and should be available for the game against Atletico-PR is the Uruguayan midfielder De Arrascaeta. He played for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. He reached the last 16 with his country. With Uruguay eliminated by France, it may appear before the deadline. However, his stay in the club remains undefined. The athlete can be traded with overseas clubs during the transfer window ending in early September.
In the period of paralysis of the Brasileirão and the Brazilian Cup, Cruzeiro made two preparatory friendly matches for the second part of the season against Corinthians. At home, he was beaten 2-0. In São Paulo, he drew 2-2. That increased to five the number of games without success of Raposa (three draws and two defeats).The most recent success was against Ceará, in Fortaleza, by the Brazilian Championship. The Belo Horizonte team won 1-0 on June 3. In the Brasileirão, the club has 18 points (five wins, three draws and four losses) occupying the eighth position.
Atlético-PR
The rubro-negro of Paraná had a more radical change in the period of ‘vacations’. The coach Fernando Diniz, who did all the preparation of the team at the beginning of the season, was fired. He did not resist the campaign far below expectations in the Brasileirão. By winning only nine points out of the 36 he played in Brasileirão, the coach left the club in the nineteenth (penultimate) position in the relegation zone.
The direction was given to Tiago Nunes, who will make his debut before the Cruzeiro. The Hurricane chose to prioritize the training and leave the friendly in the background during the standstill period. Of the last ten matches that the Hurricane disputed, it was defeated in eight of them.
Therefore, the top-haters did not just change coaches and hired reinforcements for the second part of the season. Among the reinforcers are strikers Marcelo Cirino, who was revealed by the club and had passes cleared by Flamengo and Internacional, and Bruno Nazário. The athletes, however, were not regularized in time to face the Cruzeiro.
Thus, the probable team for the duel of this Monday is Santos; Jonathan, Thiago Heleno, Wanderson (Paulo André) and Thiago Carleto; Camacho, Bruno Guimarães and Matheus Rossetto; Nikão, Pablo and Bergson.
Soccer Prediction of the Day Cruzeiro vs Atlético-PR
The game system has been a bigger hurdle for the Cruzeiro to reach the goals than the injury problems of the attackers. The team is much more comfortable when it can play in a more conservative, closed defense, and waiting for opportunities to counterattack. Thanks to the advantage gained in the first game, you can play this way against Atletico-PR. Thus, it ends up being the best guessing option for the match.
