Match preview
Atletico-MG return to home soil looking to bounce back from successive away defeats against Santos and Sao Paulo. The hosts have established a formidable record in Belo Horizonte this season, suffering just one defeat across 11 league matches on home turf while scoring 19 goals in the process.
Fluminense enter the contest sitting in fourth position with 45 points, but their form away from home tells a different story. The visitors have managed only two victories from 12 road outings in Serie A, drawing six times and conceding 18 goals away from Rio de Janeiro.
With Fluminense missing leading goalscorer John Kennedy due to a knee injury alongside several other key players, Atletico-MG hold a clear structural advantage in front of their own supporters. Historical meetings also heavily favour the home side in this fixture, with Atletico-MG taking victory in four of the previous five home encounters against Fluminense.
