by Joseph King | in Football Predictions
Racing Club takes on Cruzeiro in the final of the 2024 Copa Sudamericana in Asuncion on Saturday where a new champion will be crowned. We’ve got a detailed breakdown and a prediction ready for this clash between La Academia and Raposa.
Victory for Racing Club would represent the first continental trophy since 1988 when they won the now non-existent Supercopa Sudamericana. Coincidentally, they faced Cruzeiro on that day which adds yet another layer to this fascinating matchup. This is the first time they’ve made it to the final of the Copa Sudamericana after overcoming Corinthians in the semis.
Cruzeiro have the chance to win their third major continental competition after previously having lifted the Copa Libertadores on two occasions, the most recent in 1997. Like their opponents, Saturday’s matchup is the first Copa Sudamericana final appearance for Cruzeiro who were able to overcome Lanus in the final four. Which team will prevail in a classic battle between Brazilian and Argentine clubs? Let’s take a closer look at the statistics.

Racing Club Avellaneda - Cruzeiro: Form Analysis
Racing Club come into this fixture in fantastic form after having reeled off four straight wins in the Argentine Primera Division since their 2-1 second leg victory over Corinthians.
La Academia have now won their last five in a row across all competitions, netting exactly two goals in each match. Most recently, Racing ran out 2-1 away winners over San Lorenzo which has them sitting third in the league standings.
Racing Club are the highest scoring team in the competition with 30 goals from 12 games.
In the 2024 Copa Sudamericana, Racing Club have consistently been excellent. They’ve racked up nine wins from their 12 total fixtures, losing only twice while drawing once for a 9-1-2 record.
Cruzeiro, by comparison, are in much worse form. Since their 1-0 away win over Lanus in the second leg, Cruzeiro have lost two of their last three in the Brazilian top flight.
Most recently, Raposa fell to a 2-1 away defeat to Corinthians in their midweek league fixture on Wednesday. It also puts the Brazilians at a rest disadvantage whose opponents will be coming into this cup final with a full week’s rest.
Overall, Cruzeiro have managed only two wins from their last 11 matches across all competitions. They’ll at least be able to point towards their solid record in the 2024 Copa Sudamericana where they’ve won six, drawn five and lost just once in 12 matches.

Racing Club Avellaneda & Cruzeiro Squad Analysis
Racing manager Gustavo Costas has a fully healthy squad to choose from ahead of Saturday's match. Costas opted to rotate his squad in the team’s most recent win over San Lorenzo, affording a few of his key players some extra rest in the leadup to the final.
The main attacking threat for Racing Club and the player who will command the most attention from the Cruzeiro defense is striker Adrian Martinez. At 32 years old, Martinez is having his most productive ever scoring season with 28 goals in 46 appearances across all competitions.
Martinez leads the Copa Sudamericana scoring charts with nine goals from 12 matches.
As for Cruzeiro, manager Fernando Diniz will be without the services of two players. Juan Dinenno is a long-term absence as he recovers from an ACL tear while Rafa Silva looks likely to miss out with a thigh problem.
Cruzeiro’s hopes could well lie on the shoulders of their key attacking trio of Kaio Jorge, Matheus Pereira and Gabriel Veron. The three players missed out on the team’s midweek fixture through suspension but will all return for this match.
Jorge is the team’s leading scorer in this competition with four goals from six games.

Our Racing Club Avellaneda vs Cruzeiro Prediction
Racing Club have been the class of the 2024 Copa Sudamericana and they come into this final with a ton of momentum having strung together five straight victories. Cruzeiro will certainly not be easy opponents and this should be a tight, closely-contested battle.
However, we give the Argentine club the edge on Saturday based on how they’ve performed as a whole as well as the recent form of both clubs. Ultimately, Cruzeiro’s inconsistency in recent weeks could come back to haunt them. Our Racing Club vs Cruzeiro prediction: Racing Club to win.
