Atlético will take on Mirassol this Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at Estádio José Maria de Campos Maia in the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship. Currently seventh in the table with 50 points from 34 matches, Atlético can move level with sixth-placed Bahia by securing a win in this away fixture.
Earlier this season, Atlético defeated Mirassol 3–1 at their home ground, Arena MRV. Alan Minda, Maycon, and Cissé scored in that encounter, helping Galo secure the three points. This match will be Atlético’s last before their Copa Sudamericana final against Boca Juniors on November 21 in Barranquilla, Colombia.
Atlético’s squad has several players sidelined with injuries. Victor Hugo, Reinier, and Thiago Borbas are undergoing treatment for muscle injuries, and Alan Franco along with Alan Minda were recently withdrawn from the Ecuador national team squad due to similar issues. International call-ups include Vitão and Kauã Pascini with Brazil’s Under-20 team, and Ángelo Preciado representing Ecuador.
Suspensions could impact Atlético’s lineup as Tomás Pérez is out after receiving his third yellow card in the previous match against Botafogo. Meanwhile, Lyanco, Kevin Castaño, Cissé, Fred, and Igor Gomes each carry two yellow cards and face suspension if booked again in this match.
The match officials appointed for the game are referee Sávio Pereira Sampaio from Distrito Federal, assisted by Bruno Raphael Pires and Daniel Henrique da Silva Andrade. Anderson Ribeiro Gonçalves will serve as the fourth official, with Caio Max Augusto Vieira overseeing VAR duties.
