Cruzeiro vs Atletico-MGPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Cruzeiro and Atletico-MG meet in the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals both riding decent form. Cruzeiro come off a 2-1 win over Flamengo after a 1-2 defeat to the same rivals in the previous round; over their last five games they have won three, drawn one and lost one, with further wins over Corinthians (2-1) and Mirassol (3-1). Atletico-MG are unbeaten in their last five, with two wins, 3-0 over Gremio and 1-0 over Bragantino, and three draws, the most recent a goalless one away to Internacional. In the most recent head to heads the balance is even: over the last five meetings Atletico-MG have won twice, the latest 3-1 last May, Cruzeiro twice as well, the latest 1-0 in March, and one game finished level at 1-1 in October 2025. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
