Atletico Mineiro vs Santos: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on September 14, 2025

Atlético Mineiro hosts Santos in an important Brasileirão Série A Round 23 clash at Arena MRV, with both teams desperate for points. Atlético, languishing in 14th with 24 points, is reeling from three straight league losses and a 4-0 aggregate defeat to Cruzeiro in the Copa do Brasil, which ended their campaign in the Copa do Brasil. 

Santos, 16th with 22 points, just two points behind their opponents, Atletico Mineiro, are winless in three league games and narrowly above the relegation zone after a 0-0 draw with Fluminense. Historically, Atlético have the edge, and we are about to see if history will favor them as they head into this return leg encounter on Sunday. Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Atletico Mineiro: Form and statistics

Form in the League: LLLDW

Atlético are in a rut, with three consecutive league defeats in their last three league games. The last time they won a league game was in early August against RB Bragantino. The Galos played their hearts out in their last league game against Vitoria, with a strong performance, and two of their goal attempts hit the woodwork, but they still failed to produce a goal. Atletico Mineiro deserved a win or a draw to say the least in that game, but they were rather unlucky, and Erick’s 6th minute goal for Vitoria was the game decider. 

This loss to Vitoria made it a string of three consecutive league losses for the Alvinegro. Before the sad loss to Vitoria, they lost 2-0 to Sao Paulo and a 1-3 controversial defeat against Gremio in mid-August. Currently sitting fourteenth with 24 points and a risk of sliding down to the relegation zone, they trail thirteenth-placed Gremio by a point while keeping a narrow two-point cushion over fifteen-placed Vasco da Gama. Their home form is not the best, with 2 losses in their last two games at the Arena MRV and a meager two wins from 6 home league games. 

Their Copa do Brasil journey ended at the hands of Cruzeiro by an aggregate 4 goals to nil, but they still have hopes of advancing in the quarter-finals of the Copa Sudamericana, where they will take on Bolivar next week. 

Atletico Mineiro: Lineup

Cuello and Hulk are back from suspension, but Lyanco is still doubtful of featuring in this game. Cuca has a very big Copa Sudamericana game mid-week, and he might rest some players for the crucial clash against Bolivar. 

Player to watch out for: Hulk

Hulk is the man on goal for Atletico this season with four goals and three assists to his name. The 39-year-old forward has been incredible for Atletico Mineiro, and we believe he might find the net on Sunday.

🔖 Atletico Mineiro probable starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Everson – Natanael, Junior Alonso Vitor Hugo, Arana – Alan Franco, Alexsander, – Scarpa, Dudu, Cuello – Hulk

⛔️Out: Saravia, Lyanco, Cadu, Patrick, Bernard (injured)

👤Head Coach: Cuca

Santos: Form and statistics

Form in all competitions: DLLWW

Santos are struggling, winless in three league games, with two losses and a draw. The last time they won a game was against Cruzeiro in early August, but instead of building on that momentum, things quickly unraveled. What followed was their heaviest defeat of the season, a shocking 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Vasco da Gama. The misery continued with a 2-0 loss to Bahia before they finally managed to steady their footing with a goalless draw against Fluminense.

Santos are still in survival mode, fighting tooth and nail to keep their place in the Brasileirão. They sit 16th in the table, level on points with both 17th-placed Vitoria, who sit in the relegation zone, and 15th-placed Vasco da Gama just above them. It’s a precarious position they are in, and one slip could drag them straight into the relegation zone. That makes this game more than just another league fixture; it’s a battle for a place in the Brasileirão next season

Santos: Lineup

Neymar is back from suspension, but rumors have it that Neymar will miss the Santos Clash for controversial reasons related to the artificial nature of the pitch. Neymar has voiced his concerns about synthetic fields and how they are uncomfortable for any player to play on. 

This is more than just a game for Santos. For Santos, every point matters now, and their performance here could go a long way in deciding whether they’re still competing in the Brasileirão next season.

Player to watch out for: Alvaro Barreal 

The 25-year-old forward has five goals to his name in the league this season.

🔖 Santos probable starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Gabriel Brazão – Mayke, Ivaldo, Luan Peres, Gonzalo Escobar – Tomas Rincon, Ze Rzfael, – Caballero, Rollheiser, Guilherme – Barreal

⛔️Out: Basso, Arão (injured),

👤Head Coach: Matheus Bachi
