CSA Maceio hosts Atletico-MG in round 26 of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, October 17th at Estádio Rei Pelé (Maceio)
CSA will return to its field, again in the relegation zone, but no one will deny that the weakest outsider and debutant of the Brazilian elite began to play three times better under the management of Fuchs. On Saturday, the team lost to Goias, but in a stubborn fight (1:0). The team remained with 25 points (6-7-12), but there are only 6 points to the Copa Sudamericana zone. Home performances of CSA are no worse but even better than that of some middle-class teams. The team from Maceio gained 19 points (5-4-4), but there is obvious progress with a new coach. CSA won four home matches in a row and beat not only Avai (3:1), Ceara (2:0) and Chapecoense (1:0) but also strong Inter (1:0). Forward Bueno is still injured, but Costa, Apodi and Joao Vitor will return to the squad.

Gremio defeated Atletico in the last round (1:4), and this is a continuation of the free fall of the Mineirans, which they decided to stop by firing coach Santana. This defeat was already the seventh in 10 matches. The club’s problem is the lack of decent candidates for the coaching bridge. The fans are worrying because the management chose Vagner Mancini. This very Brazilian coach has already relegated from the top division with two elite clubs (after they switched to the points system in the league). In addition to Guarani and Botafogo, this specialist almost drowned Vitoria and Chape. However, the Baians eventually relegated, but without Mancini, who was fired from Vitoria a little earlier than the championship finished.
Much more organized CSA, which is demonstrating the progression of its strength, a very confident game in the home stadium and high motivation, can at least not lose to the broken and bloodless Mineirans who play poorly away. But we probably shouldn’t expect an abundance of goals in Maceio.
Prediction for the match: CSA to win with +0.5 handicap and Under 4.5 goals scored
