Hulk and Kaio Jorge aim to rediscover scoring touch in Brasileirão derby | OneFootball

The classic match between Atlético-MG and Cruzeiro, this Wednesday (15th), at 9:30 PM, at Arena MRV, will give Hulk and Kaio Jorge the opportunity to end a goal drought in the Brazilian Championship.

The main strikers of the Minas Gerais giants have been without scoring in the competition for a while.

Kaio Jorge, the undisputed starter for Cruzeiro, is the top scorer of the Brasileirão with 15 goals, but hasn't scored since August 23, when the team defeated Internacional in the 21st round.

Since then, the striker has scored three goals in the Copa do Brasil, all against Atlético-MG: two in the first leg at Arena MRV, and one in the return leg at Mineirão.

Hulk, on the other hand, is going through an even longer period without scoring in the Brasileiro.

The number 7 of Galo last found the net in the competition on July 20, when he scored two free-kick goals against Palmeiras.

The striker started the season as an undisputed starter, but currently has been on the bench in some matches.

His last goal of the season was on August 14, in the Copa Sudamericana, against Godoy Cruz, securing the team's victory in the first leg of the quarterfinals.

Cruzeiro is Hulk's biggest victim on Brazilian soil, with nine goals in 15 matches against the Raposa while playing for Galo.

In the current edition of the Brasileirão, Hulk has scored four goals.
