Athletico arrives for the clash with high morale after beating Brusque and qualifying for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.

The result ended a negative streak of five games without a win. In addition, Furacão announced the arrival of coach Odair Hellmann , who takes over permanently after the three-game stint of Portuguese interim João Correia.

With just one day of training, Hellmann should keep Athletico's base team. However, he will not have the presence of Colombian striker Kevin Velasco, who was left out of the list of players after suffering a blow to his left ankle in the last game.

The defense should be maintained, but the midfield should have defensive midfielder Falcao in the starting lineup. The player pleased the coach and has fully recovered from the muscle discomfort he had in recent weeks.

On the other side, Athletic-MG comes to the duel after losing to Novorizontino at home. In other words, the team from Minas Gerais wants to recover the points lost as a visitor. The team is led by Roger Silva, a former striker, and is playing in the Série B for the first time in its history.

Mycael; Kauã Moares, Habraam, Leo Pele and Esquivel; Falcao, Felipinho and Giuliano; Luiz Fernando, Isaac and Renan Peixoto.

Jefferson; Douglas Silva, Gabriel Ferreira, Sidimar and Gelado; Diego Smoke, Amorim and David Braga; Max, Neto Costa and Yuri Silva.
