Bahia vs Atlético Mineiro
Bahia
Bahia's current relegation situation is also very tense, the team's current round is a make-up match with Atletico Mi, Bahia won the Northeast Cup this season is the fourth time in the team's history to win the title in this competition (the first three in 2001, 2002 and 2017), and also tied with Victoria's number of championships, tied for the most. But no one expected that the team had already fought for relegation all the way down in the league.
Personnel: The team signed former Chongqing foreign aid Sirino, the 29-year-old Sirino as a right winger, who has played for Atlético Ba, Flamengo, Brazil International and other teams in his career, he joined Chongqing Siwei in early 2020 as a free agent, representing the team in 16 appearances in all competitions, scoring 5 goals and 6 assists, in January this year, Silino underwent surgery with a knee injury. Bahia also signed 27-year-old Argentine left winger Isnardo. New York City signed Bahia striker Andrade and Mai International signed Bahia midfielder Gregory. In addition to bringing in Benfica defender Herman Conte, Bahia has signed free 29-year-old Brazilian midfielder Sousa and 22-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper Denis Junior from São Paulo.

Atlético Mineiro
Mi Athletic won the third place last season, and this season the team began to break out in early July, playing a wave of 3927, becoming the leader of the Bajia in one fell swoop, and Mi Athletic currently has 68 points to the top of the list, 8 points higher than the second place Flamengo. With the last 3 rounds of the league left, there is a great chance of winning the long-lost league title. You only need to get 2 more points to win the championship early, which is only one step away from the championship. Despite the regrettable semi-finals in the Copa Libertadores, the Copa do Brasil has reached the final and it is not a dream to win the title this season.
Personnel: The recovery of Atletico Mi is related to the introduction of Brazilian coach Kuka, who was coached by Shandong Luneng in the Chinese Super League, and the poaching of Hulk and Argentine midfielder Fernandez, especially Hulk's eye-catching performance, which has contributed 27 goals + 11 assists in all competitions. Former Atletico scorer Diego Costa, who signed free agents for free in the summer window, added to the team's wings, and he and the 35-year-old Hulk rotated to ensure that the team's forward line always had a strong impact. The strength of the front line has increased significantly. At present, Mi Athletic has scored 57 goals and conceded 25 goals in the league, and the offensive and defensive ends are more balanced, especially the defensive stability is extremely high.
