This Saturday (14th), Atlético-MG visits Itabirito at Estádio Castor Cifuentes, in Nova Lima, at 7:00 PM (Brasília time).
The match is valid for the eighth and final round of the first phase of the 2026 Campeonato Mineiro.
Galo occupies second place in Group A with 11 points, while Gato do Mato, already eliminated, is in third place in Group C with seven points.
According to this year’s state championship regulations, in addition to the leaders of each group, only the best second-placed team advances to the tournament semifinals.

Atlético is still without a coach, having dismissed Jorge Sampaoli after the 3-3 draw with Remo in the Brasileirão.
Thus, Galo will be led by the club’s permanent assistant, Lucas Gonçalves, who chose to start Natanael, Vitor Hugo, Scarpa, and Dudu in place of Preciado, Alonso, Cuello, and Reinier, respectively.
