The visitors returned to winning ways after two games on Wednesday with a 2-0 home triumph over Fortaleza. Mateus Carvalho scored in the first half and Pablo Vegetti continued his fine form with a goal in the 63rd minute.

Colorado are winless in their last three league outings and have just one win in their three home games. Interestingly, they have scored just one goal apiece in their last six league games, which is a cause for concern.
Cruzmaltino have seen a drop in form recently and have just two wins in their last eight league games. They have suffered consecutive defeats in their away games in the league this season and also have just one win in away games in this fixture since 2008.
With that in mind, both teams are expected to settle for a low-scoring draw.
