Fourth-placed Atlético Mineiro will look to halt the unbeaten run of second-placed Palmeiras in the eighth round of Brazil Serie A competition. This match will be played at the Estádio Mineirão on Sunday midnight. Mineiro are coming off a 2-1 win over Athletico Paranaense in the Copa Libertadores on Tuesday. They have now on five competitive matches in a row giving them good momentum coming into this match. Their league form too, has improved after a poor start. Atlético started with only one win from their first four league games but have since improved with three victories in a row. The improved home form has played a large part in this renaissance. At this venue, the hosts have won their last two league games in a row, both times scoring two goals.

Palmeiras are the only unbeaten side in the league this campaign. They have four wins and three draws so far keeping them three points from the early season leaders Botafogo. The visitors are also coming off a win in the Copa Libertadores. They defeated Cerro Porteno 3-0 making it 14 straight matches without a loss in all competitions. This included ten wins and four draws which should give them confidence of extending that record here. Additionally, the visitors have managed to remain unbeaten in seven straight competitive matches against Atlético. Even on the road, Palmeiras have stitched an unbeaten six-game run this season in all competitions giving them a strong chance of extending their impressive head-to-head record.
