Atlético Mineiro have just won the Brazilian Championship. The main striker Hulk has won three individual awards: the best scorer, the best striker, and the best player. If Atlético Mineiro win the Brazil Cup, head coach Cuca will become the second coach in Brazilian history to have won the Libertadores Cup, Brazilian Championship and Brazilian Cup “Grand Slam” in a same club. The first is Felipão Scolari who guided Gremio in the 90s.

However, Atlético Mineiro held a lot of celebrations and awards ceremonies last week. They were also affected by registration problems in the Brazilian Cup. The main central defender Natan Silva was unable to register, and the reserve defender Réver was injured. Today they can only use Igor Rabello who was the fourth overall pick. Argentinian offensive midfielder Nacho Fernandez did not start either.

Athlético Paranaense’s head coach Alberto Valentim was CuCa’s assistant in Palmeiras After winning the Copa Sudamericana, Athlético Paranaense didn’t make extra effort in the Brazilian Championship. They were just satisfied for not being relegated and they concentrated in the preparation for the Brazilian Cup finals. They have a more complete squad. They will adopt a very conservative defensive play today, and strive to drag the decision to their home artificial turf at the second leg.

Let’s back Athlético Paranaense +1.

米内罗竞技刚刚赢得了巴甲联赛冠军，主力前锋胡尔克一人包揽最佳射手、最佳前锋、最佳球员3个个人奖项。如果米内罗竞技再拿下巴西杯，主教练库卡将成为巴西历史上第二个在同一个俱乐部拿到过解放者杯、巴甲和巴西杯大满贯的主教练，前一位是90年代格雷米奥的斯科拉里。

然而，上周米内罗竞技进行了很多的庆祝活动，以及颁奖，他们在巴西杯上还受到了报名问题的影响，主力中后卫纳坦-席尔瓦无法注册，加上替补中卫雷维尔有伤，今天只能使用第四顺位的拉贝罗。创造力出色的阿根廷中场纳乔也没有首发。

巴拉纳竞技主教练瓦伦蒂姆是库卡当年在帕尔梅拉斯的助手，在南球杯夺冠以后，巴拉纳竞技对联赛几乎是放弃态度，保级即可满足，全新准备巴西杯决赛。他们的人员齐整程度更好，他们将采取非常保守的防守踢法，力求把比赛拖到次回合自己的人工草皮主场。

让我们支持巴竞技+1.
