The team from Minas Gerais is coming off a 3-2 defeat to Deportes Iquique in Chile in the fourth round of Group H of the Copa Sudamericana. The list of injured players for the Brasileirão match is still extensive, with Lyanco, Guilherme Arana, Alan Franco, Gabriel Menino, Cadu and Caio Maia. Hulk, who stayed in Belo Horizonte for muscle recovery work, should be on the field.

Tricolor struggled to beat Sport and only got the three points in injury time in the last round. Now, the team is trying to improve its performance away from Rio de Janeiro. However, Renato Gaúcho will not have Riquelme again, who is in transition after recovering from his respective injury. In addition, Germán Cano is also out of action due to an injury to his left knee, while Otávio injured his Achilles tendon. Finally, Thiago Silva could be one of the new additions to the squad.
