Corinthians v Atlético Mineiro: survival fight meets Sudamericana push | OneFootball

Corinthians host Atlético Mineiro in the Brasileirão on Sunday, 24 May 2026 in São Paulo, with the hosts aiming to climb out of the relegation places and the visitors looking to consolidate their grip on continental spots.

Corinthians start 17th on 18 points, while Atlético Mineiro are 11th with 21. The hosts edged the most recent league meeting here 1-0 in October 2025.

Timão's recent run includes a 3-2 home win over São Paulo, draws away to Santa Fe and Peñarol, and defeat at Botafogo. Galo arrive unbeaten in five, winning their last three across Sudamericana, league and cup.

Injuries bite on both sides. For Timão, Memphis, Vitinho, Charles, Hugo, João Pedro and Kayke are injured. Galo list Gustavo Scarpa, Victor Hugo, Patrick and Hendel Índio as injured.

Coringão have scored 14 and conceded 18 in 16 league games, so margins could be tight. Atlético-MG have 21 for and 22 against, but six away defeats in eight league trips suggest the hosts may find openings if they sustain pressure at home.

A home win would move Coringão to 21 points and could lift them out of the relegation places. Victory would take Galo to 24 points and strengthen their position in the Sudamericana zone.
