This Monday, at Cidade do Galo, Atlético-MG wrapped up their preparations for the match against Juventude, for the 26th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The match will take place this Tuesday, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Arena MRV.

Under the command of coach Jorge Sampaoli and his coaching staff, the Atlético-MG squad held a tactical training session focused on the match against the team from Rio Grande do Sul. Finally, the players also worked on finishing drills.

Key Absences

For Tuesday’s match, Jorge Sampaoli will have to deal with four key absences. Goalkeeper Everson, left-back Guilherme Arana, and forward Hulk all received their third yellow card against Mirassol last Saturday and must serve a suspension.

In addition, defender Junior Alonso was sent off in last Saturday’s match and will also be unavailable for Galo.

How are the teams coming into the match?

Against Mirassol, at Arena MRV, Atlético-MG returned to winning ways in the Campeonato Brasileiro after six rounds. Vitor Hugo scored just eight minutes into the game and secured the three points for Galo, who still had to play the entire second half with one man down.

On the other hand, Juventude is the first team inside the relegation zone and has gone three rounds without a win, with one draw and two losses in that period. This Saturday, the team drew 1-1 with Internacional at Alfredo Jaconi.
