Atlético Mineiro vs Corinthians Today: Live Stream, Kick-Off Time, Lineups & Real-Time Score Updates

Belo Horizonte, Brazil — Matchday 10 of the 2025 Brasileirão brings a marquee showdown at Arena MRV as Atlético Mineiro welcome Corinthians in a clash that could reshape the early-season title picture. Kick-off is set for Saturday, 24 May at 21:00 BRT (00:00 UTC on 25 May), with live coverage on ESPN and Star+ in Brazil. Current form and standings • Atlético Mineiro (4W-3D-2L, 15 pts) sit fifth, five points off leaders Palmeiras after a 1-0 away win at Bahia. New head coach Gabriel Milito has tightened the back line, conceding just three goals in the last five league outings. • Corinthians (3W-2D-4L, 11 pts) are 12th but unbeaten in three after edging Grêmio 2-1 at Neo Química Arena. António Oliveira’s counter-punching setup is beginning to click, with Yuri Alberto scoring in back-to-back games. Key storylines 1. Hulk vs Cacá: Galo’s talisman already has six league goals and will test a Timão defence rebuilt around 20-year-old centre-back Cacá, a breakout star this season. 2. Battle on the flanks: Atlético’s speedy wingers Paulinho and Pedrinho face Corinthians’ emerging full-back duo of Wesley and Matheus Bidu—whoever wins width could dominate possession in Arena MRV’s tight dimensions. 3. Midfield chess: Battaglia and Zaracho’s double pivot meets Maycon and Raniele; expect aggressive pressing and rapid transitions, especially with VAR-monitored tackling thresholds this season. Probable line-ups Atlético Mineiro (4-2-3-1): Everson; Saravia, Bruno Fuchs, Rémulo, Guilherme Arana; Battaglia, Zaracho; Pedrinho, Igor Gomes, Paulinho; Hulk. Corinthians (4-3-3): Cássio; Wesley, Cacá, Félix Torres, Bidu; Maycon, Raniele, Rodrigo Garro; Ángel Romero, Yuri Alberto, Pedro Henrique. Injury report • Atlético: Alan Franco (knee) and Otávio (thigh) remain out. • Corinthians: Ruan Oliveira (ACL) is the lone absentee; Fagner returns from suspension. Head-to-head trends • Galo are unbeaten in seven home league meetings with Timão since 2016. • Last season’s encounter in Belo Horizonte ended 3-0 to Atlético, with Hulk netting a brace. Tactics snapshot Milito’s 4-2-3-1 morphs into a 3-2-5 in possession, pushing Arana high and wide to overload the left-half space. Corinthians prefer a low-to-mid block (average 43 % possession), springing quick vertical balls to Romero and Alberto. Expect set-pieces to be decisive: Atlético lead Serie A in xG from dead-ball situations (3.2) while Corinthians have conceded four of their 12 goals against from corners. Match odds (Brazilian books) Atlético Mineiro 1.70 | Draw 3.40 | Corinthians 5.00 — reflecting Galo’s formidable home record and superior form.
