Atletico Mineiro, just like Santos, have not had the best of runs in the season and are only placed fifth by virtue of a good start to the campaign, as they have not been so impressive lately in the Serie A, with just one win in the last five. They take to the game a run of three losses a draw and a win in the last five. They have been relatively stronger at home in the last few matches, winning three, drawing one and losing one in the previous five, scoring 12 goals and conceding seven. With four wins in 11 matches and just one clean sheet in the last 10, they will have a lot of homework to do before trooping to this game though a bright spark for them will be the fact that they have scored in eight of their last 10 matches. They will be counting heavily on their home form, which has seen them lose just once in the last five Serie A matches at their backyard and score in eight of the last 10 matches but defensively they will need to improve massively, having picked just three clean sheets in the same number of matches. Santos head to the game with a nine – match winless run and with a poor away record, it is tough for them to plan for a win in Belo Horizonte. Santos have three draws and two losses in the last five matches and away from home they have managed four straight draws and a loss in five, scoring one goal and conceding two in the process. They have managed two wins and four clean sheets in their last 15 matches and are winless in six Serie A matches. They have picked just two wins in 15 away Serie A matches and with three clean sheets in 15 Serie A matches they know they have a lot of defensive work to do when playing a side that has scored in eight of the last 10 league matches at home. However, Santos go to this clash unbeaten in the last five away league matches, having drawn four and won one.
