Defeated by Flamengo this Wednesday at Maracanã, Cruzeiro will have a clear opportunity in the upcoming rounds of the Brasileirão to try to change the negative scenario at the start of the competition.

With only two points accumulated so far, the team led by Tite faces a sequence of four games, three of them at home at Mineirão stadium, aiming for the first victory and to move out of the bottom positions on the table.
