Athletico-PR x América-MG: how the teams arrive
O Athletico arrives with important problems in the squad, especially in defense and attack, but also with a possible return in midfield. Coach Odair Hellmann will have at least one mandatory change: Benavídez, who had been playing as a defender, is suspended for his third yellow card. The tendency is for Aguirre to take over the position, although Madson is also an alternative. In attack, Leozinho, a frequent player in home games and considered a “12th player”, is also out for the same reason. Furthermore, there is doubt about Léo Derik, who is treating bone edema in his right knee; If he is unable to do so, Patrick will occupy the left wing.
On the other hand, midfielder Dudu returned to training with the ball after muscle discomfort in his thigh and could reappear among the team, after being absent for three matches. Vice-leader with 62 pointsAthletico guarantees access with a draw, and still has a chance of winning the title if they win and Coritiba lose to Amazonas. The expectation of a full house is huge: tickets sold out in around two hours, and the club opened an exclusive lot for voucher holders.
Already the America-MG arrives reinforced. Midfielder Miguelito returns after defending Bolivia at Data Fifa and is once again available after two games away. Defender Lucão and goalkeeper Gustavo, who were suspended in the 1-1 draw with Cuiabá, also return to the team. On the other hand, midfielder Yago Sousa, a starter in the last ten matches, is suspended for his third yellow card and is missing from the team.
Other casualties are Marlon, Maguinho, Aloísio, Titi Ortiz, Elizari, Alê and Héber, who remain out of action. Coelho is in 13th place, with 46 points, and has no chance of access, but is also not at risk of falling.
