Atletico Mineiro take on Palmeiras at the Estadio Governador Magalhaes Pinto in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores semi-finals on Wednesday.
With the first leg ending 0-0, both sides are in a perfect position to advance to the finals of the competition.
Atletico Mineiro have been flying of late. Cuca's side are on a great run of form, unbeaten in their last 12 games across all competitions. The Alvinegro will be confident of getting past Palmeiras on Wednesday and booking a place in the finals of the Copa Libertadores.
Palmeiras have faltered of late and have only managed to win two of their last five fixtures across all competitions. Abel Fereira's side are heading into the game off the back of a 2-1 loss against Corinthians and will hope to bounce back with a win against Atletico Mineiro on Wednesday.
