Atletico travels to face Mirassol this Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at Estadio Jose Maria de Campos Maia for the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship.
The team currently sits in seventh place with 50 points from 34 matches, as reported by “Yahoo Sports”.
A victory would elevate the club to 53 points, drawing them level with Bahia, who holds the sixth position in the current league standings.
This match serves as the final fixture for Atletico before the team shifts focus to the upcoming Copa Sudamericana final against Boca Juniors.
The championship final is scheduled to take place on November 21 in Barranquilla, Colombia, according to “OneFootball”.
In their previous encounter during the first half of the season, Atletico secured a 3-1 victory over Mirassol at Arena MRV.
That match featured goals from Alan Minda, Maycon and Cisse.
The squad is managing several injury concerns heading into the weekend, with Victor Hugo, Reinier and Thiago Borbas still receiving treatment for muscle injuries.
Additionally, Alan Franco and Alan Minda were withdrawn from the Ecuador national squad following the identification of muscle issues.
The team will also be without Tomas Perez, who is suspended for this round after receiving his third yellow card during a previous match against Botafogo.
International duties have further impacted the roster, as Vitau and Kaua Pascini are currently with Brazil’s Under-20 team, while Angelo Preciado is representing Ecuador.
Broadcast coverage for the Saturday night contest will be provided exclusively through Prime Video.
Fans can also follow pre-match and post-match commentary via the club’s official digital platform, GaloTV.
The officiating crew for the match includes referee Savio Pereira Sampaio, supported by assistants Bruno Raphael Piles and Daniel Henrique da Silva Andrade.
