Atlético Mineiro welcomes Unión Santa Fe to this second leg of the Copa Sudamericana 1st Round. It's time to find a winner and both teams know what is needed.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Mineiro 1. Thankfully the previous game, versus Caldense, was also a home game here at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio. The away team is better rested.
These teams have little in common geographically as Unión Santa Fe have to travel 2500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Atlético Mineiro form and stats
Atlético Mineiro was eliminated in the semi-finals last season in the Copa Sudamericana.1 victory, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Atlético Mineiro have to build on here at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio in the Mineiro 1.
Atlético Mineiro's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Caldense. Before that, Atlético Mineiro played out a Copa do Brasil draw 0-0 when visiting Campinense.
The Atlético Mineiro manager R. Dudamel Ochoa has got the team scoring with 7 from 3 home games in the league. Atlético Mineiro have conceded 3 in these home matches.
Unión Santa Fe form and stats
Unión Santa Fe's mission in Copa Sudamericana last season failed in the 1st round.There's been little loot from Unión Santa Fe's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 11 away games in the Superliga. Unión Santa Fe only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws. Recent form does not give Unión Santa Fe much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Atlético Mineiro will be a tough nut to crack. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Unión Santa Fe have lost on their last two travels.
Two away games in a row for Unión Santa Fe, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Patronato in the Superliga. The game before that, in the Superliga, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against River Plate.
It's a bit worrying for Unión Santa Fe that their goalkeeper Sebastián Moyano made seven saves in the Patronato game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
A new game in only four days for Unión Santa Fe, the Superliga home match versus Central Cordoba SdE. Busy days.
The attacking power of Unión Santa Fe when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 11 league matches away. Unión Santa Fe have conceded 18 goals in these games.
