In an all-Brazilian encounter, the out-of-form hosts will hope to shrug off recent results to deal a blow against their high-flying visitors and the defending champions - and having competed in the semi-final stage of this very tournament last season, both will be under no illusion what is at stake here.

Team news & rosters
| Position | Atlético-MG roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Éverson, Mendes, Rafael |
| Defenders | Guga, Alonso, Réver, Arana, Rabello, Mariano, Silva |
| Midfielders | Otávio, Jair, Zaracho, Fernández, Calebe, Allan, Neto, Rubens |
Forward | Hulk, Fábio, Vargas, Keno, Sasha, Ademir |
With just one win in their last four games - and one point from a possible nine in their last three - it has not been plain sailing for Atlético heading into this game - particularly with several of their recent foes brushed aside by their opponent here.
With that in mind, they might feel like the underdog on home soil - but it is not by luck that they have made it this far, and they'll be determined to ensure they do not bow out cheaply here too.
Predicted Atlético-MG starting XI: Everson; Mariano, Rabello, Alonso, Arana; Jair, Allan; Zaracho, Fernández, Keno; Hulk.
| Position | Palmeiras roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Vinicius, Weverton, Lomba |
| Defenders | Rocha, Kuscevic, Jorge, Mayke, Gómez, Piquerez, Murilo, Gustavo, Freitas, Vanderlan |
| Midfielders | Rafael, Scarpa, Atuesta, Veiga, Menino, Danilo, Jailson, Fabinho, Bicalho, Jhonatan, Naves |
| Forwards | Dudu, Rony, Wesley, Giovani, Breno, Navarro |
Few teams can boast the record Palmeiras arrive to this crucial tie sporting in recent weeks, with five wins from their last five games across all competitions - even if the furthest of those did ultimately result in shootout heartbreak.
That loss in the Copa do Brasil will only fire them up more to go all the way on the continent however, particularly as they look to defend their crown - and against another side hailing from their neck of the woods, they'll fancy their chances to bag local bragging rights.
Predicted Palmeiras starting XI: Weverton; Rocha, Gomez, Cerqueira, Vanderlan; Danilo, Ze Rafael; Scarpa, Veiga, Dudu; Lopez
