The Fox keeps playing very well, and in the last round, defeated Fortaleza 2-0 away. The Cearenses are going through a tough patch, but it's not easy to win at the Arena Castelão, and Cruzeiro did it smoothly. Even playing without the maestro Matheus Pereira, Cruzeiro had no problem creating several goal-scoring chances against a frightened Fortaleza defense. Kaio Jorge and Lucas Silva scored in the 34th and 41st minutes, leaving the home fans incredulous. The first goal came after a brilliant collective move with a magnificent assist from Gabriel Barbosa. In the second half, the Miners defended the result and secured an undeniably deserved victory. In midweek, Cruzeiro drew 0-0 at home with Union Española in the Copa Sudamericana. With no chance of qualification, Leonardo Jardim fielded a secondary team. Cruzeiro hasn't lost in ten games and is going through its best spell in recent years.
Cruzeiro: Lineup
Central defender Villalba received his third yellow card and is suspended. On the other hand, Matheus Pereira is back from a one-match ban.

Palmeiras: Form and statistics
Palmeiras lost 2-0 at home to Flamengo, disappointing its fans who weren't expecting this result. The Paulistas missed the chance to increase the gap on their main title contenders to seven points and now have just a single point advantage. Piquerez missed a penalty in the 17th minute at a pivotal moment in the game. Flamengo also had a chance from the penalty spot in the 74th minute, but De Arrascaeta didn't miss. After that, the Verdão tried desperately to get an equalizer, leaving its defense unguarded. Flamengo took advantage of the spaces given by Palmeiras and made it 2-0 through Ayrton Lucas in a lethal counter-attack. It was the second home defeat for Abel Ferreira's side. Curiously, Palmeiras has won every game on the road and has only dropped points at home. Palmeiras remains in first place but will have a tough nut to crack in the next match. In midweek, Palmeiras thrashed Sporting Cristal with a 6-0 win in the Copa Libertadores. Palmeiras was the best team in the group stage and the only one to win all six games. With this achievement, Palmeiras will play the second leg of the knockout stage matches at home until the final.
Palmeiras: Lineup
Coach Abel Ferreira and midfielder Richard Ríos completed their suspension and will be at the Mineirão. Abel has problems in defense, as Gómez and Murillo, two central defenders, are suspended.
🔖Palmeiras starting lineup (4-3-3)
Weverton – Giay, Fuchs, Micael, Piquerez – Martínez, Ríos, Mauricio – Estêvão, Torres, Vitor Roque
⛔️Out: Vitor Figueiredo, Bruno Rodrigues (injured), Gómez, Murillo (suspended)

Cruzeiro vs Palmeiras match prediction 02 June 2025
Everything suggests a tight game between two of the best teams in the Série A. Cruzeiro is third with 20 points, while Palmeiras is first with 22. The Miners are in great form and unbeatable at home, but the Paulistas have won every game on the road. It's hard to pick a winner, as Palmeiras is more used to big games, but on the other hand, it has two experienced defenders out injured. I'm going for a Double Chance in favor of Cruzeiro with a maximum of four goals scored.
