Team News

Atletico MG
Sport Recife
  • Levir Culpi welcomes back centre-back Leonardo Silva.
  • He was suspended against Internacional, but should come back in to replace Edcarlos.
  • Maicosuel will be looking to build on his two-goal display against Internacional.
  • Eduardo Baptista must do without André, who cannot play against his parent club.
  • Diego Souza will push further forward, so a midfielder must come in.
  • Régis would be the most likely choice but is suspended, so Neto Moura will get a chance.

Prediction

  • Two of the three sides tied on 23 points at the top of the table face off in Minas Gerais this week.
  • Atlético have won their last four games and moved top of the standings at the weekend courtesy of a 3-1 success over Internacional.
  • That knocked Sport off the summit, but the Recife outfit remain the only unbeaten side in the division.
