How is Sport arriving?

Sport is coming off a 2-0 defeat to Juventude, a result that practically sealed its fate in Serie A. The Pernambuco club hasn't won in 14 matches – the last victory was on August 10th, against Grêmio.

Last Thursday, forward Derik Lacerda, the team's top scorer, was sidelined due to indiscipline. Besides him, coach César Lucena cannot count on the injured Rafael Thyere and Hereda, and the young Zé Lucas, who is serving the Brazilian Under-17 National Team.

With 17 points, the Lion could have its relegation confirmed if it loses to Atlético and Vitória wins against Botafogo.

How is Atlético-MG arriving?

Atlético is experiencing a moment of recovery. The 3-0 victory over Bahia consolidated the good phase and ensured more confidence for the squad. With 40 points and in 11th place, Galo seeks to confirm its stay in the elite.

Coach Jorge Sampaoli returns to the command after serving a suspension, as does defender Vitor Hugo. On the other hand, Bernard and Ruan Tressoldi are out due to suspension, while Lyanco, Júnior Santos, Cuello, and Caio Maia remain in the medical department.
