Campeonato Brasileiro kicks off: Champions Mineiro host Inter

Campeonato Brasileiro Série A kicks off

A new season in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A begins with the main event being the match between last season’s champion, Atlético Mineiro and Internacional.

Both teams played during the week in international matches, so it is expected that both teams will rotate their line-ups.

On the one hand, the “Gallo” had an easy victory against Venezuela’s Deportes Tolima in Group D of the Copa Libertadores, and arrive for Sunday’s match with their head held high. On the other hand, Inter will try to improve their performance after drawing in Ecuador against 9 de Octubre in the Sudamericana Cup.

Before this game, the season’s opening game will be on Saturday when Santos visit Fluminense, both also played international matches during the week. Santos lost in the Sudamericana Cup to Banfield of Argentina while in the same tournament, the Flu won 3-0 against Oriente Petrolero of Bolivia. Last season’s runners-up in Campeonato Brasileiro, Flamengo, will play against Atlético Goianiense on Saturday night.
