Corinthians vs Atletico Mineiro: Team News and Expert Analysis
The São Paulo club finished thirteenth last season but managed to win the national cup. This secured them a spot in the Copa Libertadores, where the Brazilians performed well and advanced to the playoffs ahead of schedule. However, in domestic competitions, they lost as often as they won. They also lost to Botafogo in the previous round. At least in the cup, they calmly progressed past Barra.
The team from Belo Horizonte collected one more point in 2025, finishing eleventh overall. That was enough to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana. There, the Brazilians started poorly and ultimately found themselves at the bottom of their group. Results in Serie A were also rather modest. However, they managed to beat Mirassol comfortably, 3-1. In the cup against Ceara, they exchanged 2-1 wins, but advanced on penalties.
Fernando Diniz's side in the Brasileirão averages only 0.88 goals per match scored, but concedes just 1.13 per game. Cassierra and company score 1.31 per match and concede 1.38.
