Atletico Mineiro, placed fourth after 10 matches, go in search of their fifth win in Serie A this season as they host Santos. Santos go into the game placed 10th with 13 points, three points behind their hosts. Atletico Mineiro are coming from a humiliating 5-3 loss away to Fluminense, another of their shaky performances this season. They have two wins only in their last five matches and have also managed two clean sheets in the five matches. In their 10 league games, Atletico Mineiro have only lost twice, but with just two clean sheets in eight league games, they’ll feel that’s an area of improvement. In three of their last five league matches, they’ve scored two or more goals. At home, they have a great run in the league, drawing back from last season; they’ve lost once in 23.

Santos, on their part, go into this game winless in the last five matches; they’ve drawn four and lost once in that run. In five matches coming ahead of this one, Santos have failed to score in two, while they have just one clean sheet in that run. Both sides have scored in three of their last four matches and away from home, they aren’t the strongest. They’ve managed just one win in 10 matches on the road and failed to score in five of the 10 away matches. On only two occasions in those 10 away matches have they scored more than a goal, while they have two clean sheets only. In the last nine meetings between these two sides, the team playing at home has emerged the winner in each. This is not a stat that Santos will like.
