Remo v Atlético Mineiro: Sudamericana push meets relegation fight | OneFootball

Remo host Atlético Mineiro in the Brasileirão on Saturday, 8 August 2026 at Estádio Estadual Jornalista Edgar Augusto Proença in Belém, with the visitors chasing Copa Sudamericana places and the hosts trying to climb out of the relegation zone.

Remo sit 19th and Atlético Mineiro are 10th. The sides drew 3-3 in February, and the visitors are unbeaten across the last three meetings.

Leão Azul have one win in their last five matches, including a 2-0 home victory over Vitória, but recent setbacks against Mirassol and Santos have checked their momentum. Galo are unbeaten in five, with away league wins at Palmeiras and Vasco da Gama and a cup triumph at Juventude underpinning their upturn.

Leão Azul are without suspended Zé Ivaldo, while Tchamba is injured. Atlético-MG travel without suspended Renan Lodi. Tomás Cuello, Patrick and Hendel Índio are sidelined.

Galo's league profile is balanced, scoring 25 and conceding 25, with 82.90% pass accuracy and a steady supply from wide areas, completing 21.60% of 213 open-play crosses. That delivery could test a Leão Azul defence that has conceded 34 goals in 21 league games. At the other end, the hosts may look to keep things compact, as they did in their 1-0 home win over São Paulo in May.

Atlético-MG could climb the table and consolidate their Copa Sudamericana place with a win. Leão Azul, still in the relegation zone, badly need points to close the gap to safety.
