This Minas Gerais classic has already been played 383 times, with 151 wins for Atlético-MG, 127 for Cruzeiro, and 105 draws. The celestial team, however, has not beaten its rival since 2021, when it scored 1-0 in the Campeonato Mineiro.

On Atlético’s side, coach Felipão will not have full-back Rubens, suspended for his third yellow card. However, the lineup will not change, as the holder of the position is Guilherme Arana. The news is the return of Battaglia. The midfielder trained normally and can return. With this, Alan Franco must lose space. Zaracho would also be an option.

On the other hand, Zé Ricardo will have a series of absences at Cruzeiro. Full-backs Marlon and Palácios, as well as striker Wesley, are suspended. Midfielder Ramiro and center forward Rafael Elias, known as Papagaio, remain vetoed by the medical department.

Without his full-backs, Zé Ricardo must play Wesley Gasolina on the right and Kaiki on the left. The offensive sector should count on Arthur Gomes and Bruno Rodrigues.
