Cruzeiro v Atlético-MG: recent Copa do Brasil home record favours the Galo | OneFootball

Cruzeiro and Atlético-MG face off for a spot in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil this Thursday, at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), at Mineirão. As the home team, Raposa has not beaten Galo in six games.

The last time the Celeste team won as hosts in the derby was in April 2021, during the first phase of the Campeonato Mineiro. Cabuloso defeated Galo 1-0 at Mineirão, with a goal by Airton.

Since then, Atlético-MG has had the upper hand when visiting their rival. Of the six matches played in this period, the alvinegro won three and the draw was the final result on the other occasions. Galo scored seven goals against just two from Raposa. In their last encounter, the teams drew 0-0 in a match valid for the ninth round of the Brasileirão.

Cruzeiro in the lead

Despite the recent poor record, Cabuloso does not necessarily need to beat Atlético-MG to advance. That's because Raposa won the first leg 2-0 at Arena MRV, where they have more wins than their rival in the derby. Fabrício Bruno and Kaio Jorge scored the goals for the Celeste team.
