The Brazilian club has seen its attackers struggle to convert possession into decisive finishes and goals in the latter stages of games since the departure of key forward Hulk. Despite having six attackers in the squad, they have only managed to score 21 goals collectively. In contrast, the team's 14 midfielders have accounted for 26 goals, with eight of them scoring at least one goal each. The midfielders have been the driving force behind the team's scoring, with Victor Hugo, Bernard, and Reinier each netting six goals.
Atlético-MG's reliance on midfielders to score goals has been a notable trend this season, with the team's coach Eduardo Domínguez counting on the midfielders to provide the necessary firepower. The team's defense has also been impressive, with the backline contributing 12 goals to the team's tally.
