Atletico Mineiro, Recent FormA point gained from their 1-1 draw against Criciuma in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Atletico Mineiro. They achieved 68% possession in that match and had 22 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Criciuma's tally of 5 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Gabriel Milito will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 10 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 6 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Arena MRV.
They have been performing well at Arena MRV recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
When it comes to home matches at Arena MRV, Paulo Paulinho will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 5 league goals for Atletico Mineiro in their last 6 home games.
Cruzeiro, Recent FormCruzeiro were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against Fortaleza. In that game they had 44% possession and managed 5 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Fortaleza who had 3 attempts and 1 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 7, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 5 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
There will be mixed feelings from Raposa, having been undefeated in their last 4 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
It ended in disappointment and a 0-1 defeat for Atletico Mineiro last time they met Cruzeiro in the league, with Raposa defying the odds to take the win.
In their past 5 meetings, Galo's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so Cruzeiro will have to take their chances when they come. Cruzeiro have failed score a goal in 4 of their last 5 league meetings with Atletico-MG.
Atletico-MG manager Gabriel Milito has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Edenílson Andrade dos Santos (Elbow), Patrick Bezerra Do Nascimento (Unknown) and Bruno Fuchs (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Rafael Bilu (Achilles tendon) and Juan Dinenno (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Fernardo Seabra will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
