Flu v Atlético Mineiro: Libertadores push meets Sudamericana chase | OneFootball

Fluminense face Atlético Mineiro in the Brasileirão at the Maracanã on Saturday, 21 March 2026, with the hosts eyeing a Libertadores charge and the visitors looking to climb the table.

Fluminense are on 13 points after seven rounds and perfect at home, with three wins from three, six scored and three conceded. Atlético Mineiro, by contrast, have taken no points away, scoring once and conceding five in three road games. The last league meeting here finished 3-0 to the hosts in October 2025.

Flu's recent league run includes wins over Remo and Athletico Paranaense, set against defeats at Palmeiras and Vasco da Gama. Galo have edged past Internacional and São Paulo 1-0 in Belo Horizonte, but away losses at Vitória and Grêmio underline the travel test.

Injuries hit both sides. The Tricolor Carioca list Germán Cano, Nonato, Facundo Bernal and Matheus Reis as sidelined. Alvinegro Mineiro are without Vitor Hugo, Maycon, Alexsander, Hendel Índio and Mamady Cissé.

Backed by strong home returns, Flu could look to force the pace at the Maracanã, while Galo may lean on defensive discipline given their away record.

A win would move Flu to 16 points and could nudge them towards the top four. Victory for Galo would take them to 11 points and may lift them towards the top half as they aim to firm up a Sudamericana push.
