Atlético Mineiro are ready to bounce back in the Copa Sudamericana, naming their starting XI for a crucial home clash against Uruguay's Juventud de las Piedras. After a disappointing opening-day loss to Puerto Cabello, the pressure is on for Galo to secure their first three points in Group G and get their continental campaign back on track.

The match kicks off this Thursday at the Arena MRV, a fortress where the Brazilian side will look to harness their home support. Manager Eduardo Domínguez has rotated his squad, handing starts to Cauã Soares, Bernard, and Vitor Hugo as he seeks the right formula for victory. With the group still wide open after Cienciano and Juventud played to a draw, this is a prime opportunity for Atlético to take control of their destiny in the tournament.

For fans, this represents a key moment in the season—a chance to see the squad's depth tested and to witness the fight for redemption on a continental stage. A win tonight would not only boost confidence but also solidify Atlético-MG's ambitions of going deep in the Copa Sudamericana.
