Preview: Cruzeiro vs Santos
Cruzeiro enters this gameweek 8 clash at the Mineirão in a state of desperation, sitting 19th in the Série A standings without a single win in their opening seven matches. The club recently parted ways with manager Tite following a turbulent start that saw them concede 18 goals, the worst defensive record in the division. Despite their struggles, they have shown a tendency to start games strongly at home, leading at half-time in six of their last ten fixtures in Belo Horizonte. To secure their first three points, the Raposa will look to star playmaker Matheus Pereira, who leads the team in shot assists and recoveries, while trying to overcome a lengthy injury list that includes veteran goalkeeper Cássio and striker Kaio Jorge.

Santos travels to Belo Horizonte also under significant pressure, currently occupying 14th place and aiming to distance themselves from the relegation zone. While "The Fish" have struggled for consistency under manager Cuca, their offensive output remains a threat, having scored in 14 consecutive league matches. Neymar Jr. remains the creative heartbeat of the side, having already tallied three goals and several big chances created this season. However, Santos will be without several key figures for this encounter, as Gabriel Barbosa and Neymar are both reportedly serving suspensions, while defensive mainstay Vinicius Lira is sidelined with a serious knee injury. Historically, Santos has held the upper hand in recent meetings, winning both league encounters in 2025, including a dominant 3-0 victory last December.
