ℹ️
Team News: Atlético Mineiro
Cadu (Torn knee ligaments), Tomás Cuello (Hamstring injury) and Guilherme Arana (Hamstring injury) won’t be playing for Atlético Mineiro boss Cuca Stival.
It’s our opinion that Galo could opt for a 4-3-3 formation featuring Everson, Natanael, Vitor Hugo, Júnior Alonso, Rubens, Patrick Silva, Alan Franco, Igor Gomes, Hulk, Rony and Gustavo Scarpa.

Team News: Internacional
Internacional manager Roger Machado has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Johan Carbonero (Hamstring injury), Rafael Borré (Abdominal problems), Sergio Rochet (Broken hand), Enner Valencia (Hamstring injury), Fernando (Knee injury), Gabriel Mercado (Cruciate ligament tear), Vitinho (Elbow injury), Ricardo Mathias (Hamstring injury), Victor Gabriel (Inner ankle ligament tear), Alexandro Bernabei (Hamstring injury), Bruno Gomes (Cruciate ligament tear) and Lucca Drummond (Cruciate ligament injury) are not ready for selection.
From our viewpoint, Colorado appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Anthoni, Braian Aguirre, Vitão, Juninho, Ramon, Bruno Henrique, Ronaldo, Bruno Tabata, Thiago Maia, Wesley and Lucca.
🧠

Our feeling is that Internacional will need to apply a lot of pressure to hit the back of the net against this Atlético Mineiro side who will likely be able to grind out a win.
Therefore, we predict a very even contest with a 1-0 winning score for Atlético Mineiro at the end of this game.
A close call.
