After enduring several seasons in Serie B and falling into a crisis with no signs of improvement, Cabuloso found its way back in 2024 and managed to build a competitive team not only to stay in the top division but also to fight for greater achievements.
Currently in 7th place in the Brasileirão with 47 points, Fernando Diniz’s team is still in the fight for a spot in the 2025 Libertadores, and the Sudamericana final could shorten this path – the winner secures a spot in the group stage of South America’s premier tournament.
Diniz’s work so far hasn’t been great, but he has the backing of the board, who understands that his method requires time for the players to adapt. In nine games so far, there have been only two wins, three draws, and four losses. However, one of the wins was against Lanús in Argentina, which secured Cruzeiro’s place in the Sudamericana final.
For the match, the Minas team is expected to field: Cássio; William, João Marcelo, Villalba, and Marlon; Lucas Romero, Walace, Matheus Henrique, and Matheus Pereira; Gabriel Veron, and Kaio Jorge. ToSport, your dependable source for match updates.
