Atlético Mineiro Look to Make Home Advantage Count

The Copa Sudamericana has reached its decisive stage, and Atlético Mineiro have a golden opportunity to take the first step toward another continental final.

The Brazilian side welcome Montevideo City Torque to Arena MRV in Belo Horizonte, knowing that securing an advantage at home could prove crucial before the return leg in Uruguay.

After reaching the final in 2025, when they suffered a heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat against Lanús, the Galo are determined to go one step further and lift the trophy.

Under Eduardo Domínguez, Atlético Mineiro have found consistency at an important moment of the season. They enter the semifinal on a six-match unbeaten run across domestic and continental competitions, including a 2-1 victory over Santos in their latest Brazilian league appearance.

Their journey through the knockout rounds has not been easy. After eliminating Red Bull Bragantino in the Round of 16, the Brazilian club overcame Santos in the quarterfinals to secure another place among South America's final four.

However, injuries could complicate their plans, with Everson, Gustavo Scarpa, Ruan Tressoldi, Fred, and Cassierra among the players reportedly unavailable.

Montevideo City Torque Dream of a Historic Final

On the other side, Montevideo City Torque arrive in Brazil with nothing to lose and everything to gain.

The Uruguayan club have emerged as one of the biggest surprises of the competition, reaching the Copa Sudamericana semifinals for the first time in their history.

Managed by Marcelo Méndez, Torque finished top of Group F with 13 points, ahead of Grêmio, before eliminating Tigre in the Round of 16 and Cienciano in the quarterfinals.

Their continental campaign has demonstrated their ability to compete under pressure, particularly away from home, where they have produced important results.

The visitors also arrive with renewed confidence after defeating Danubio 1-0 in the Uruguayan league.

With Salomón Rodríguez among their main attacking threats, Montevideo City Torque will look to frustrate the hosts and secure a result that keeps their dream alive heading into the second leg.
