Atletico Mineiro vs Santos Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Brazilian Serie A 2025

Belo Horizonte gears up to host Sao Paulo outfit.

The Arena MRV Stadium in Belo Horizonte gears up to host the Brazilian Serie A fixture between home team Atletico Mineiro and Santos.

Atletico Mineiro are currently positioned 14th in the Serie A points table and are coming after a 2-0 defeat to Cruzeiro in the Copa do Brasil game. They are led by Jorge Sampaoli, who has previously managed big teams like Sevilla, Marseille and Rennes before returning for his second stint at Mineiro.

Santos are placed 16th currently in the Brazilian top flight. They are languishing near the relegation zone and just a better goal difference have managed to put them out of the danger so far after being levelled in points with 17th placed Vitoria. They are coming after a goalless draw against Fluminense in the last game.

Players to Watch

Lyanco (Atletico Mineiro)

The 28-year-old Brazilian centre back from Vitoria recently made a move to Mineiro after plying his trade at various continents of the world. After donning the jerseys of European clubs like Bologna, Torino and Southampton, he found his new home in the Middle East after signing for Al Gharafa as a loanee. Lyanco will be tasked with the responsibility of securing a clean sheet for Mineiro in the next game against Santos.

Benjamin Rolheiser (Santos)

The Argentine winger will have to unleash his beast when Santos take on Mineiro next. Goal scoring has been a big concern for Santos in the last few games and the Argentine winger will be looking forward to making those creative runs from the flanks to create more goal-scoring opportunities.
