Atlético Mineiro host Chapecoense in Serie A, with the home side sitting 7th on 39 points from 26 matches, still needing points to climb up and challenge for a place near the top of the table, while the visitors are stuck in 20th with only 17 points from 26 matches. This situation shapes the game into one where the home side must push hard to win, while the visitors have to focus on solidity to steady their own situation. Atlético Mineiro just won 4-2 in the Copa Sudamericana and have won their last two matches in a row. Their attack is working again after a mid-month spell of defeats in the league and cup, but there are still visible issues in defence, especially late in games when they concede often. Chapecoense, meanwhile, just lost 1-2 in the league and have lost one match in a row. Their overall form is still not great, but they have picked up some wins in their last five. Their defence has conceded a lot of goals all season. This game is likely to play out with the home side dominating possession and attacking against a visiting team that sits deeper. If Atlético Mineiro score first, the game will open up even more and there is a chance the scoreline could stretch. But if Chapecoense can hold out for a long time, the game could become harder for the home side to break down and the scoreline might not be as wide as many expect.
