Atlético Mineiro/MG - Coritiba/PR 13/09/2013 01:00 BST
"Estádio Independência" will host an interesting clash of the Brazilian championship between two teams that traditionally make strong matches against each other.
Guests from Coritiba are in good shape and occupy a higher place in the standings compared to the upcoming opponent. However, Atletico has proven to be a solid host who rarely loses at home ground, with 4 wins, 3 draws and only one loss this season.
Coritiba team has achieved a 2-0 victory at home to Sao Paulo in the previous round, with 2 goals scored by Alex. The midfielder performed great in this game and showed that he is about to regain his best form again. Probably, it is the performance of this player that will affect the outcome of the upcoming match and if he again demonstrates his skills, the defense of Atletico will find it hard to keep clean sheet.
Atletico Mineiro achieved a draw as a guest against Vitoria in the last round. Two key players - defensive midfielder Pierre and center back Rever return in the defense after serving suspension.
An interesting fact is that the team of Atletico has won all of their last 6 games at home against Coritiba in all competitions.
