Team Form and Standings
Mineiro
Atletico Mineiro is currently ninth in the table with 13 points from seven matches.
They remain unbeaten this season with four draws and three wins, including a recent victory against Red Bull Bragantino.
Their defensive prowess at home is notable, having conceded just five goals in their last eight home fixtures, while scoring 17.
Palmeiras
Palmeiras, on the other hand, sits in seventh place with 14 points from eight matches.
Despite a slow start, they have won their last two league games, both away from home.
