There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Copa do Brasil game only four days ago. That game, against Bahia, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Atlético Mineiro.

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