The Tombense manager E. Souza attacks this game with the team placed 2nd so far. In the visitors dressing room Cruzeiro and their manager A. Batista are in 5th place before this match.
The visiting Cruzeiro played their last game only four days ago, a Mineiro 1 match. That game was also an away game, at CAP Patrocinense. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Tombense form and stats
Seven points from three Mineiro 1 home games is a great start for Tombense, who are hoping to build on that form here at Estádio Antônio Guimarães de Almeida. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Estádio Antônio Guimarães de Almeida.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Tombense, as their goalkeeper Felipe Garcia dos Prazeres has completely shut out the opponents for 209 minutes in the Mineiro 1.
Tombense's last game was hosting URT (placed 8th) and winning 4-0. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against CAP Patrocinense.
