Atletico Mineiro aim to extend their home unbeaten run as they welcome Athletico Paranaense to Arena MRV on Sunday in round 10 of the 2026 Brasileiro season.

The hosts will head into this one fresh off the back of an emphatic 4-0 victory over Chapecoense, where they produced their best attacking display of the season, snapping a run of four consecutive away league defeats.

Meanwhile, Athletico Paranaense saw a three-match winning streak come to an abrupt end last time out, suffering their heaviest defeat of the campaign with a 3-0 loss to Bahia in Salvador.

PRATINJAU PERTANDINGAN

Atletico Mineiro’s resounding win over Chapecoense provided a significant boost, ending their away losing streak and highlighting clear signs of improvement.

The result showcased positive adjustments from Eduardo Dominguez, particularly with Bernard, Reinier, and Cuello, as well as a more efficient attacking approach.

Galo now have three wins, two draws, and four defeats from nine matches, currently sitting ninth in the standings with 11 points.

A major highlight of Mineiro’s campaign has been their form at Arena MRV, where they remain unbeaten with two wins and two draws.

Sunday’s hosts will look to turn home advantage into league consistency as they aim to close the gap to the top of the table.

However, with Copa Sudamericana action now on the menu, the challenge will be to maintain a competitive level on two fronts, demanding greater squad rotation and management.

Athletico Paranaense saw their upward trajectory halted by a heavy defeat at the hands of Bahia.

Odair Hellmann’s side, who had been in excellent form and climbed as high as second at one stage, now sit fifth with five wins, one draw and three defeats, totalling 16 points.

The loss to Bahia exposed several weaknesses for Rubro-Negro, particularly away from home, where they have managed just one league win so far this season.

Even with Kevin Viveros among the standouts in the competition, his subdued display last time out highlighted the team’s overreliance on him.

Steven Mendoza was his side’s most dangerous player in their last outing, but could not prevent a disappointing result.

To stay in contention for a top-four finish, Paranaense will need to find greater balance and consistency, particularly on their travels.

Recent history suggests there is little to separate Sunday’s opponents. In the 2024 season, each team claimed a 1-0 home victory—Athletico Paranaense in Curitiba and Atletico Mineiro in the reverse fixture.
