The Brasileiro Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Atletico Mineiro and Flamengo go head-to-head at the Estadio Raimundo Sampaio on Sunday (July 30).
Atletico failed to return to winning ways on Sunday, as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Gremio at the Arena do Gremio. Filipe Scolari’s men have gone eight games without a win across competitions, losing thrice since a 1-0 win over Alianza Lima on June 7.
With 21 points from 16 games, Atletico are 13th in the league but will move into ninth with a win.
Meanwhile, Flamengo have one foot in the Copa do Brasil final following a 2-0 win over Gremio in the semifinal first leg. Jorge Sampaoli’s side are unbeaten in nine games, including five in the league, where they have picked up nine points from a possible 15.
