Palmeiras v Atletico Mineiro - Copa CONMEBOL Libertadores 2023
Palmeiras and Atletico Mineiro go head-to-head in the Brazilian Serie A on Thursday

Palmeiras will welcome Atletico Mineiro at the Allianz Parque in the Brazilian Serie A on Thursday.

The hosts have suffered three defeats in a row in their league campaign and, in their previous outing, fell to a 2-1 home loss to rivals Santos before the international break. Zé Rafael broke the deadlock in the 43rd minute but goals from Tomás Rincón and Marcos Leonardo helped Santos record a comeback win.

The visitors, meanwhile, saw their five-game unbeaten run in the league come to an end last time around. They also suffered a 2-1 home loss in their previous outing. Hulk opened the scoring in the 59th minute and Coritiba successfully completed a comeback thanks to goals from Matheus Bianqui and Islam Slimani.

The hosts' poor run has seen them drop to fourth place in the league table and they have 44 points to their name. The visitors have 40 points to their name and are in ninth place in the table.

Verdão are unbeaten in their last 10 meetings against the visitors, with eight games in that period producing under 2.5 goals. At home, they are unbeaten in their last nine meetings against the visitors, though six games have ended in draws.

Galo have suffered just two defeats in their last 10 games in all competitions, with just one of them coming away from home. They have failed to score in six of their last nine away meetings against the hosts and might struggle here.

Mariano and Eduardo Vargas remain sidelined for the visitors while Otávio Battaglia and Pedrinho face late fitness tests. Guilherme Arana will return just one day before the match from international duty and might be rested in this match.

The hosts have suffered back-to-back defeats in their last three league outings, which is a cause for concern. Nonetheless, considering their dominance in recent meetings against the visitors, a low-scoring draw might ensue.
