Atlético Mineiro hosts Red Bull Bragantino this Sunday (3), at the MRV Arena in Belo Horizonte, in a match valid for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The Galo comes from an important victory against Flamengo at Maracanã, in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16.

In the Brasileirão, Atlético seeks to end the negative streak of three defeats in BR 2025.

The team from Minas Gerais lost the last games to Bahia, Palmeiras, and Flamengo.

Bragantino comes from four consecutive defeats, three in the Brasileirão (Vitória, Flamengo, and Fortaleza) and one in the Copa do Brasil round of 16 (Botafogo).

The last defeat in the Brazilian Championship, against Fortaleza, cost them a spot in the G-4.

Massa Bruta is in fifth place, with 27 points.

Cuca rotated the starting lineup and, therefore, included Biel and Alexsander in the starting team.

Saraiva, who was doubtful, was rested due to a knock on the right calf suffered in the last match.
