Corinthians vs Atletico Mineiro prediction, preview, team news and more

Corinthians host Atletico Mineiro at the Neo Química Arena in the Brazilian Serie A on Sunday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.

Corinthians have been unable to pick up wins lately, having won only two of their last ten games across all competitions. Sylvinho's side are currently 12th in the table, however, a win on Sunday could potentially take them up to 6th in the league.

Atletico Mineiro, on the other hand, have been on a great run of form. Cuca's side are currently on a five-game unbeaten streak across all competitions, having won four of them. A win on sunday could see Galo end the weekend at the top of the table.

This is a great opportunity for both sides to climb up the league standings, as both sides will be looking to win the game on Sunday.
