Cruzeiro will seek to get back to winning ways this Sunday when they host Atletico Mineiro in the Brazilian Serie A. One point separates the two teams coming into this match with Atletico in fourth place and Cruzeiro in sixth. Cruzeiro come to this match in woeful form as they haven't won in four matches with two of those fixtures ending in defeat. They lost 1-0 to Gremio in the Copa do Brasil to exit the competition in the round of 16 last time out. Pepa's charges will look to arrest this situation early to avoid spiraling even further.

Atletico Mineiro are faring better than Cruzeiro despite being only one point above them. A lack of consistency is what has winged them. They come to this match without a win in their last two matches. Before this slump, they had won five straight fixtures across all competitions. Edouardo Coudet's charges were dumped out of the Copa in midweek by Corinthians on penalties. They had won the first leg match 2-0 but allowed Corinthians to come back in the tie and win. As they are unbeaten in three matches now against Cruzeiro, Atletico will be confident of bouncing back with this match.
