Atletico Mineiro and Vasco da Gama go head-to-head at Arena MRV in round 18 of Brasilero Serie A on Sunday. Gabriel Milito’s men will head into the weekend looking to end their three-game losing streak against the visitors and move into the top half of the table.
Atletico Mineiro were denied successive league wins for the first time since April as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Juventude on Tuesday.
This followed a 2-1 victory over 10-man Sao Paulo at Arena MRV on July 12 which saw their three-game winless run come to an end.
While Atletico Mineiro will be looking to return to winning ways, they have struggled for results on home turf, where they have failed to win five of their last six matches.
