Overview
- Kickoff is 16:00 Brasília time at Ilha do Retiro for the 33rd round, with Atlético-MG in 11th on 40 points and Sport bottom on 17.
- Sport will be relegated this round if it loses or draws and Vitória or Santos win on Sunday, according to the reported permutations.
- The hosts are winless in nine matches with four straight defeats and have removed forward Derik Lacerda for indiscipline.
- Atlético-MG arrives after a 3–0 win over Bahia, with coach Jorge Sampaoli returning from suspension and Vitor Hugo available as Bernard serves a ban.
- The visitors aim to sustain their late-season recovery and snap a months-long away victory drought in a series historically led by Atlético (25 wins to 12).
