Cuiaba will take on Atletico Mineiro at Arena Pantanal on Sunday in the latest round of Brasileiro Serie A matches.
Cuiaba are currently struggling in the relegation zone, with a tally of just four points from six games. They haven't won a single game so far, losing twice and playing out four draws.
Cuiaba lost their last league game to Flamengo at home. Pedro scored the opener in the 10th-minute for the visitors, which was followed by a second-half injury-time strike from Thiago Maia.
Meanwhile, Atletico Mineiro are coming off a convincing 4-1 win against Atletico Goianiense. Matias Zaracho and Ignacio Fernandez's braces handed Mineiro the win, as Marlon Freitas' goal in the first-half proved to be a mere consolation for Goianiense.
Atletico Mineiro are fifth in the table with 13 points from eight games.
