The atmosphere is not the best after pressure from fans and the soap opera involving Hulk – who isn't even on the bench.

Sampaoli is not betting on full strength, using some youth academy players.

Betim ⚔️

The goal for the team led by Emerson Ávila – who has had several spells at Cruzeiro – is to advance to the knockout stage.

Betim had a great campaign last year, but missed out on the semifinals for finishing third in their group – even though they earned more points than two of the semifinalists. 

Striker Paulo Henrique – in his fourth spell – and goalkeeper Jori were the main reinforcements. 

The lineup has not yet been announced.
