Insights:
  • Atlético Mineiro have the most matches under the total-line (16) in Serie A
  • Cuiabá have won significantly less corners away then at home.

These teams have little in common geographically as Cuiabá have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
