Preview: Atletico Mineiro vs. Juventude - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Saturday's Brasileiro clash between Atletico Mineiro and Juventude, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Atletico Mineiro will be aiming for their fifth consecutive victory when they host Juventude in the Campeonato Brasileiro on Saturday, with the league leaders inching closer to the title.

Meanwhile, the visitors are unbeaten in five and will be looking to continue their resurgence as they bid to move away from the relegation zone.

Atletico Mineiro are eight points clear at the top with six games to play, and they will be aiming to tighten their grip on the title with another victory on Saturday.

The league leaders are in scintillating form following four consecutive victories, which included a 1-0 win last time out.

After three successive home encounters, Atletico Mineiro travelled away to Athletico Paranaense, with Matias Zaracho's goal on the stroke of half time proving enough to clinch all three points.

Following that win on the road, Cuca's side will return to home surroundings on Sunday, where they have been in imperious form - winning their last eight home games in all competitions.

Saturday's hosts have scored more home goals than any other side in the league, and they have also conceded the fewest goals on home turf, highlighting the size of the task that faces Juventude at the weekend.

Juventude have won their last three games, and have come into form at the right time, with Saturday's visitors aiming to avoid the drop.

Despite their recent run of positive results, they head into the weekend in 15th place and are only three points above the relegation zone.

After winning 2-0 away to Chapecoense last weekend, Juventude continued their winning run with a narrow victory over Fluminense in midweek.

A strike from Vitor Mendes in the 18th minute guided Jair Ventura's side to a 1-0 victory, which boosted their hopes of survival.

Although, Ventura will be nervous ahead of the trip to the league leaders, with Juventude only winning twice away from home in the league this season.
