Team News

Atletico MG
Sport Recife
  • Juan Cazares is expected to return to the starting XI this weekend.
  • The playmaker started on the bench against Flamengo but is set for another chance.
  • Fábio Santos has been passed fit after a minor injury scare.
  • Milton Mendes looks set to hand Michel Bastos a recall here.
  • That's because Morato and Rogério are missing through injury.
  • Neto Moura also looks set to miss out, with a spot on the bench beckoning.

Prediction

  • Atlético Mineiro are in the strange position of having nothing at all to play for, months before the end of the season.
  • The Galo are too far off the pace to mount a title bit, yet in no real danger of being dragged into the relegation battle... so really they're just preparing for 2019.
  • Sport would love to be in that situation: the Recife outfit have been sinking like a stone, and are now under interim management after Eduardo Baptista's exit.
