Team News

Santos FC
Atletico MG
  • Carlos Sánchez, Bryan Ruiz and Derlis González are all back after international duty.
  • But Bruno Henrique has a knee issue and may not be available.
  • Goalkeeper Vanderlei will also be assessed after picking up a virus.
  • Levir Culpi welcomes back Fábio Santos and Elias this weekend.
  • The left-back and midfielder were suspended for the game against Internacional.
  • Iago Maidana now serves a ban, so Gabriel should start at the back.

Prediction

  • Santos are without a win in five games now – and the pressure would really be mounting on coach Cuca if he wasn't currently dealing with medical issues.
  • It has been a season to forget for the Peixe, who could now finish in the bottom half of Série A for the first time since 2009.
  • Atlético Mineiro's campaign has only been slightly better, but they are at least they are finishing with a flourish: the Galo have won three on the spin and are closing in on a Libertadores spot.
