Atletico Mineiro, Recent FormAtlético Mineiro will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-0 win in their home outing against Fluminense.
Manager Luiz Felipe Scolari will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and overall this season they have recorded 13 clean sheets in 30 games.
They have had a good run of form at Arena MRV recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
With 6 league goals in 6 games at home in Arena MRV, Paulo Paulinho will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Fortaleza, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Fortaleza players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Bahia. They came away from that fixture with a 51% share of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Bahia, who managed 16 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games, and over the course of the season they have failed to score in 7 of their 14 games on the road.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
Juan Lucero will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Fortaleza.
Fortaleza recorded a 2-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
The Leão do Pici defence has struggled at Arena MRV, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 visits.
With 2 goals notched up from the last 3 league meetings against Atlético at their home ground Arena MRV, Fortaleza man José Romarinho will be looking for more of the same in this one.
Fortaleza 1 - 2 Atletico MineiroAtletico Mineiro 4 - 0 FortalezaAtlético manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Rodrigo Battaglia (Sprained knee), Bruno Fuchs (Thigh), Alan Kardec (Thigh) and Eduardo Vargas (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Despite Hércules Pereira do Nascimento (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season Fortaleza manager Juan Pablo Vojvoda will be pleased to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from ahead of this fixture.
