Cruzeiro and Grêmio will face each other in the Brazilian Women's Championship this Sunday (23). The match will kick off at 6:30 pm (Brasilia time) at Castor Cifuentes, in Nova Lima (MG). The teams will meet again after nine months. The last encounter took place in the 13th round of the 2024 Women's Brasileirão, when Grêmio came out on top and defeated Cruzeiro 1-0, with a goal from Giovaninha.

For this season, Grêmio has undergone significant changes. The Tricolor Gaúcho has signed 11 new players, retained 17 from the previous squad, and also promoted two athletes from the youth teams to the main squad. Cruzeiro also comes to the debut with a renewed squad. The club has invested in reinforcements and promises to be an even more competitive opponent at home.

The duel between Grêmio and Cruzeiro has been marked by balance. In eight meetings between the teams, Tricolor Gaúcho has won four times, while the Minas Gerais team has emerged victorious on two occasions. Only one match ended in a draw. With changes in the squads and the promise of a fiercely contested match, the debut of Cruzeiro and Grêmio in the Brazilian Women's Championship promises to be a great game.
