Rush will take over under centre for the Falcons as they prepare to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, with the team’s quarterback situation taking an unexpected turn heading into the season opener.

A glance at the Serie B table tells the story: Cuiaba in 11th and Atletico Goianiense in 6th, with positions to defend and places to climb. Cuiaba have blown hot and cold, DWLWD across their last five and a win rate of 32.14% that leaves room for improvement. Atletico Goianiense have travelled reasonably well, WWDWW over their last five with a season win rate of 42.86%. Where Cuiaba have leaned on defensive discipline, Atletico Goianiense have often taken the initiative going forward, and that stylistic difference should shape the contest.

Wing play is likely to be central to the contest. Cuiaba will look to stretch the pitch and isolate their wide attackers, while Atletico Goianiense must find a way to compress the space and choke the supply lines.
