With their sights set on moving to the summit of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A table, Atletico Mineiro will travel to Cuiaba on Thursday in search of a second straight victory.

The visitors currently find themselves two points behind league leaders Palmeiras, while their hosts are just a point above the drop zone.

We say: Cuiaba 0-2 Atletico Mineiro

While Cuiaba have certainly shown encouraging signs recently, putting together back-to-back wins and pushing the league leaders close, we do not see them having enough to match the defending champions on Thursday.

With their sights set on top spot, Atletico Mineiro will be keen to post another three-point haul and should outclass their hosts.

Palmeiras will look to strengthen their position at the top of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A table on Thursday, when they travel to take on strugglers America Mineiro.

The visitors currently sit two points ahead of second-placed Atletico Mineiro, while their hosts currently find themselves in the relegation zone following consecutive defeats.

We say: America Mineiro 1-2 Palmeiras

Palmeiras should be fell of renewed confidence after returning to winning ways last time out, and the league leaders should have more than enough to outclass their struggling hosts and leave with all three points.
