Santa Cruz, just like their opponent is having a bad campaign and if they want to leave the relegation zone, they need points, especially away from home.

For this match, coach Milton Mendes will be without Wellington Cezar, Grafite and Allan Vieira.

Confirmed Lineup: Tiago Cardoso, Léo Moura, Tiago Costa, Neris , Danny Morais, Uillian Correia, João Paulo, Marcilio, Arthur Caíke, Keno, Grafite.
