After an erratic start, the Fox now seems to be on the right track and has recorded two consecutive victories, one in the league and the other in the Copa do Brasil. Leonardo Jardim is imposing his vision on the team, which is now more competitive. The situation with Dudu ended favorably for the coach, who saw his leadership consolidated. Dudu publicly criticized Leonardo Jardim and apparently told the board that he wouldn't play as long as the Portuguese coach was in charge. Cruzeiro terminated the contract with the winger, and Jardim saw his position strengthened. The squad understood the message and responded with two wins, one against Vasco and the other against Vila Nova. Kaio Jorge is in great form, and Gabriel Barbosa played behind the striker in the cup match, working hard for the team.
Cruzeiro: Lineup
Central defender Fabrício Bruno is back after suspension and can face his former team. Gabriel Barbosa's presence in the starting eleven is doubtful, as the player's physical condition is still far from ideal.

Flamengo: Form and statistics
The Vulture performed magnificently against Corinthians and climbed to first place in the league, taking advantage of Palmeiras' defeat. Flamengo now has 14 points, 15 goals scored, and two conceded. The Scarlet-Black won 4-0, and Pedro was the man of the match with two goals. The striker recovered from a long injury some weeks ago, a serious injury, and until now had not been a starter, playing just a few minutes per game. Against Corinthians, Pedro made his first team appearance this season, and with his two goals, he became the league's second top scorer with four goals. In midweek, the Cariocas defeated Botafogo de Paraíba by 1-0 in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil third round. The goal was scored by Joshua, a 17-year-old who saved Flamengo from the humiliation of drawing with a Série C team. Filipe Luís fielded a secondary team, but the display was still disappointing. However, it was another win and the sixth game in a row without conceding a goal.
Flamengo: Lineup
Alex Sandro has recovered and is ready to play. Ayrton Lucas has been performing well, so he could keep his place in the starting eleven. Filipe Luís gave the usual starters a rest in the cup game, so the team should be similar to the one used against Corinthians.
🔖Flamengo starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Rossi – Wesley, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas – Pulgar, De la Cruz, – Gerson, Arrascaeta, Everton Cebolinha – Pedro
⛔️Out: Viña (injured)
👤Head Coach: Filipe Luís

Cruzeiro vs Flamengo match prediction 05 May 2025
Flamengo is the unquestioned Série A leader, as it is the team with the most goals scored and the fewest goals conceded. Flamengo's supremacy over the Fox has been evident in recent years. The Miners haven't beaten Flamengo in nine games and have lost their last five home matches against the Cariocas. Flamengo is the clear favorite, but must show it on the pitch. Cruzeiro has improved recently, and if Leonardo Jardim has time to work, he could turn his team into one of the best in Brazil. This game will serve to test Cruzeiro's current strength. I'm betting on a game with a maximum of two goals scored. If Flamengo is inspired, it will probably score several goals, but this bet covers multiple outcomes and a possible surprise.
