How do the two teams arrive for the match? Check out the information!
Cruzeiro lineup
Cruzeiro has already confirmed nine reinforcements for 2025. The list includes right-back Fagner, defender Fabrício Bruno, midfielder Christian, midfielders Eduardo and Rodriguinho, and attackers Bolasie, Dudu, Gabigol and Marquinhos.
Coach Fernando Diniz should start the year with a mix between last season’s base and the addition of some of these reinforcements. The expectation is for the presence of Gabigol and Dudu, perhaps together, in the starting attack.
Cruzeiro Lineup: Cassio; William, João Marcelo, Fabrício Bruno (Lucas Villalba) and Marlon; Lucas Romero, Matheus Henrique, Eduardo and Matheus Pereira; Gabigol and Dudu. Technical: Fernando Diniz.

Coach Luis Zubeldía should mix starters and reserves in both halves of the game, giving almost the entire squad a chance.
