Team News

Atletico MG
Gremio
  • Atlético are without no fewer than eight first-teamers here.
  • Leandro Donizete is suspended and Lucas Pratto, Leonardo Silva and Luan are injured.
  • Juan Cazares, Frickson Erazo and Douglas Santos are on international duty; Robinho is not yet fit.
  • Roger Machado must do without forward Miller Bolaños.
  • He is away with the Ecuador squad for the Copa America, so will miss the next few weeks.
  • Douglas, Everton and Pedro Rocha are the options to replace him.

Prediction

  • Marcelo Oliveira returns to the Brasileirão with Atlético-MG, for whom he starred during his playing career.
  • He only left their city rivals Cruzeiro 18 months ago after two titles, but most fans have welcomed him with good grace and think he can do a good job.
  • Grêmio are fairly stable and could start the season with three unbeaten games for the first time since 2008, when they finished runners-up.
