Atletico's lineup, devoid of Hulk and with Biel in tow, faces Bragantino.
In the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship, Atletico Mineiro will face Red Bull Bragantino tonight at the Arena MRV. The match is expected to be a significant one for the team, as striker Biel is set to make his debut as a starter for Atletico.
Biel, who is just 24 years old, has already made his debut for Atlético Mineiro in the 17th round of the 2025 Brazilian Championship against Flamengo, where the team lost 1-0. Despite the loss, Biel showed potential and hunger to prove himself by scoring goals and becoming central to Atlético's offensive play.
After a motivational conversation with coach Cuca, Biel is expected to continue playing with renewed confidence and determination in tonight's match. Observers might expect an active and impactful performance from him, although specific predictions about goals or assists have not been provided.
The team will be without right-back Saravia, who was rested due to a knock on his right calf suffered in the match against Flamengo. Hulk, another striker, was also rested for tonight's match, but the reason for this decision has not been specified.
No information has been provided about the current standing or recent performance of Atletico or Red Bull Bragantino in the Brazilian Championship. The match is not mentioned to be part of the Copa do Brasil, and no players have been rested due to the return leg against Flamengo in the competition.
Tonight's match will be broadcast on O TEMPO and O TEMPO Sports channels on YouTube. As the season progresses, fans and observers will eagerly watch Biel's development and the team's performance in the Brazilian Championship.
