Athletico PR are stalking the top table spots while Cuiabá are more involved in avoiding relegation. Who will get the points?

Insights:
  • Cuiabá have the fewest scored goals (17) in Serie A

It's quite the trip for Cuiabá when visiting Athletico as the cities are 1700 kilometers apart.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
