Latest football commentary Atletico Mineiro vs Internacional

After a winless start and just two points from their first four Serie A games this season, Atletico Mineiro have taken some time to find their rhythm – a surprise to many considering they won nine of their final 10 games last season in all competitions.

However, under coach Alexi Stival, they finally found their first win on April 20 when they beat defending champions Botafogo 1-0, kick-starting a remarkable revival.

Since then, Mineiro have gone undefeated in 11 of their last 12 games, with their only defeat coming in the Copa Sudamericana against Deportes Iquique, which cost them their automatic place in the last 16.

A 1-0 win over Ceara earlier this week gave Galo Forte Vingador a flying start to June, keeping their fourth clean sheet in their last five games – a marked improvement on a run of just one clean sheet in their previous seven.

Currently with 17 points after 11 matches, Mineiro is ranked 9th on the rankings and has the opportunity to shorten the gap with top teams like Flamengo and Palmeiras - two teams postponed this round to prepare for the Club World Cup.

At home, Mineiro will be looking to make it two wins in a row in the league this season. Their head-to-head record against Internacional is in their favour, having won six of their last 10 meetings, although they lost their last game back in October last year.

As for Internacional, coach Roger Machado's team is having a season full of contrasts between domestic and continental competitions, and is in dire need of finding stability as a third of the season comes to a close.

In Serie A, they have won just two of their 11 games – fewer than they won in the Libertadores group stage (three of six), where they topped Group F and qualified for the knockout stages.

The latest 0-2 home defeat to Fluminense ended a five-match unbeaten run, and took Internacional's league goals conceded to 16 – the third-most in the league, behind only Juventude and Sport Recife, who are currently 19th and 20th respectively.

Before entering the "life and death" match with Vitoria after the break, Internacional will want to regain their away form - where they have not lost for the past month.
