Prediction

  • The first Clássico Mineiro of the season saw Atletico Mineiro run riot as they beat their rivals 3-0 on home soil.
  • Cruzeiro come into this match sitting in fifth place but will be kean on bouncing back from their 2-1 home loss to Fortaleza on Monday evening. Despite Monday's hiccup, Cruzeiro are in decent form having won five of their last seven matches.
  • Atletico Mineiro ran out 3-0 winners in the Copa do Brasil in midweek against CRB. They will now be eager to carry this into their league form, having suffered a 2-1 loss on the road against Cricuima at the weekend.
