The story so far in the Serie A for Atlético Mineiro at their home stadium (Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto) is 5 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats.

Atlético Mineiro are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Avai. The first loss after going unbeaten in three league games.
