The season is still fairly new and the Serie A table has to be read with caution. So far Fortaleza find themselves in 16th position and Cruzeiro are placed 7th.

It's no vacation for neither Fortaleza nor Cruzeiro as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Cruzeiro have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
