Atletico Mineiro to bounce back

TEAM NEWS

Atletico Mineiro have hired the expensive Vanderlei Luxemburgo this season. But so far, he hasn’t delivered much so far, and is under immense pressure.

The former Real Madrid boss expressed that the team will improve and pass this stage very soon. .

Luxemburgo should take care of the defense as the rooster has the weakest defense conceding 15 goals in 6 matches. Luckily, their goal scoring has been decent.

Atletico Mineiro just got beaten by Gremio away midweek in a 1-2, in their third straight loss. They are now 17^th, a very disappointing standing.

Newly promoted Cerea are a surprise. They will start with the same lineup, especially when they don’t have any absences except Jorge Henrique who is still recovering from his knee injury.

Cerea beat Avai 2-0 last round, to celebrate the club’s 96^th anniversary. They have won four in 6 games with two draws..

They have kept a clean sheet in 5 of them and only conceded a goal, the least in the league.
