Bitesize Prediction: Atletico-MG vs Cruzeiro – 27/08/25

Competition: Copa do Brasil

Market: Both teams to score – No

Odds: 8/11 @ 1xBet

Two camps who will be looking to pick up a first-leg advantage late on Wednesday night, Atletico-MG will welcome Cruzeiro to the Arena MRV.

Starting with the hosts, while Atletico-MG might have extended on their Copa Sudamericana adventure last week as they secured a 3-1 aggregate victory against Argentinian outfit Godoy Cruz, the Roosters have drastically failed to find any kind of real stability. Making an immediate return to losing ways last time out as they fell to a routine 2-0 defeat at the hands of Sao Paulo, Cuca’s side have won just a pair of their previous six appearances across all competitions and they have recorded consecutive wins on just a single occasion since returning from Brazil’s summer break. Notching more than a single strike in just one of their last six outings, the former Corinthians boss is seeking a crucial edge in the final third. Likewise, only winning just one of their previous five showdowns against Cruzeiro at the Arena MRV – a run that stems back to April 2022 – Atletico-MG could face a rugged test here.

As for the visitors, embarking on what has been a sensational purple patch this season, Cruzeiro have continued to break a string of records. Last seen putting in another eye-catching performance as they clinched a 2-1 victory against Internacional, Leonardo Jardim’s men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Currently sat in bronze medal position among Brazil’s elite and rightfully receiving plenty of plaudits, the Blues have remarkably lost just a pair of their previous 22 competitive appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to April 25th. It should also be highlighted, Cruzeiro have shipped just a single strike away from the Mineirao from any of their last nine consecutive outings. With Wednesday’s opponents playing out a 0-0 stalemate when they last met back on May 19th, we could be set for a cagey affair in midweek.

Bet: Both teams *not* to score at Atletico-MG vs Cruzeiro 8/11 for Wednesday’s Copa do Brasil tie @ 1xBet
