Atletico Mineiro vs Cruzeiro: TV Channels and Streaming Info

Belo Horizonte, the capital city of Minas Gerais state, will hold its breath as the Copa do Brasil quarterfinal will feature the Classico Mineiro. The home team is set to host their arch-rivals, Cruzeiro, at the Arena MRV. Atletico Mineiro boast a six-match unbeaten streak in the derby, but the away team is in excellent form, having gone 10 away matches without a loss. This Clasico is going to be a battle for prestige, history, and the chance to show their dominance in the state of Minas Gerais and Mineiro Clasico.

Atletico Mineiro showed resilience in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil, after a 0-1 away defeat to Flamengo, Mineiro responded with the same scoreline at their home and forced the match into penalties, in which they edged past their opponents by winning 4-3. This victory will boost their confidence heading into the quarterfinal. However, their league campaign has been a tougher challenge; they have lost two of their last three matches. They've also been successful on the international stage. In the Copa Sudamericana, the Brazilian side advanced past the Argentine side Godoy Cruz with an aggregate score of 3-1 to reach the quarterfinals. The question now is whether “Galo” will be able to channel their energy and get a win against Cruzeiro while also maintaining pressure in the two legs.

Cruzeiro, on the other hand, dispatched CRB in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. They secured a 0-0 draw at Belo Horizonte, but managed to secure a 2-0 away win, booking their place in the quarter-finals. Cruzeiro look very composed and pragmatic in the Copa do Brasil. Unlike their opponents, they are a much better side in the league. They sit in the 3rd position in the table; their last three matches in the league have seen all the possible results: one win, one loss, and one draw.

The win came in their last match, which restored the team's confidence and added momentum ahead of the derby. Cruzeiro have lost just a pair of their previous 22 competitive appearance across all competitions. As the stakes are significantly higher in this clasico, Cruzeiro's main challenge is now to maintain this momentum and find a balance between discipline and flair.
