This could be an interesting match as Santos have their presumed home advantage while Atlético Mineiro are ahead 4 points in the Serie A table.
It's no vacation for neither Santos nor Atlético Mineiro as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
