Cuiabá will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their away outing against América Mineiro.  They achieved 54% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against América Mineiro's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 7, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 10 goals and some valuable points in the process.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Arena Pantanal.  

Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.

Losing 2-0 away to Botafogo won't leave the Atlético Mineiro squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league.  They came away from that fixture with a 61% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 1 on target, in comparison to Botafogo, who managed 22 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.  

It seems pretty certain that Eduardo Coudet will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 5 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  They've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games.  

Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.  

Eduardo Vargas will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Atlético Mineiro.
