Santos come into this one playing well. They have won four of their last five matches and are clearly in good form. Cruzeiro are having a tough time - they have lost four of their last five games, so they are struggling. Recent meetings between these two teams have been tight, including a goalless draw earlier this year.
With Santos in good shape and Cruzeiro fading, Santos look the stronger side and should come away with the win. It may not be a high-scoring game, but Santos have the edge.
