Cuiaba Team News
In the previous round of the strongest Brazilian competition, Cuiaba won against Fortaleza with a score of 0:1 as the away team. They took the lead in the 19th minute through Deyverson’s goal, and despite the home team’s strong pressure and higher ball possession, they couldn’t equalize until the end of the match.
Currently, Cuiaba is in the 13th position on the table with 19 points, which is two points less than the 12th-placed Atletico Mineiro. In their last five league matches, they achieved two wins, two losses, and one draw.
Coach Toni Oliveira introduced two new players, Fernando Sobral, and Clayson, into Cuiaba’s starting lineup last week, replacing Denilson and Lury Castilho, who were in the starting eleven in the 1-1 draw against Bahia.
Deyverson scored his sixth goal in this competition last week, while Walter kept a clean sheet, stopping six shots, marking his second clean sheet this month. Rodriguinho, who scored three goals for them in the domestic league last year, is still seeking his first goal of this season. Meanwhile, Jonathan Cafu has yet to find the net this year after scoring two goals in the previous season, although he currently leads the team in assists with two.

Igor Vinicius has groin issues, Joao Moreira has a sore knee, Talles Costa has a meniscus problem, Lucas Beraldo sprained his ankle, Alan Franco has a leg injury, Gabriel Neves is still recovering from broken ribs, while Pablo Maia and Nathan are unavailable due to personal reasons.
In the last match, Jonathan Calleri surpassed Luciano as the top scorer of the team in Serie A this season (with six goals), scoring a brace in the victory against Santos, while David scored his second goal in this competition and Alexandre Pato netted his first goal since returning to the club in May.
