Form guide

Players to watch
Gabriel Delfim, Robert, Pedro and Kaio de Assis are the players listed for CA Mineiro, and all four are goalkeepers. The brief does not identify a starting goalkeeper or provide key players for CA Paranaense, so there is no firm basis for picking out an individual who could decide this one.

- • Recent form and table positions are unavailable.
