Atlético-MG rely on ex-Corinthians for key Brasileirão clash | OneFootball

Corinthians hosts Atlético-MG on the evening of this Saturday, the 18th, for the 29th round of the Brasileirão, at Neo Química Arena, starting at 6:30 PM (Brasília time). For the match, the team from Minas Gerais has former Timão players and sees the game as a direct clash according to the league table.

Among those listed for the match, the Fiel Torcida will remember two names who currently wear the Atlético-MG jersey: Guilherme Arana and Fausto Vera. The first was a multi-champion with the club, revealed by Terrão, and arrived at Galo after a stint in Europe. The Argentine midfielder, on the other hand, spent two years at Parque São Jorge and was transferred directly between the clubs.

Both have logged significant minutes under the command of Jorge Sampaoli, the current coach of the Minas Gerais team. In the last five games, however, Atlético managed only two wins, reaching the same number of points as Corinthians – who have played one more round.

Just like Timão, Galo is coming off a derby against Cruzeiro, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Despite this, the tendency is for the team to field alternative players, as they have a decisive match for the Copa Sudamericana midweek, against Independiente Del Valle.
