America MG vs Atletico Mineiro Predictions

• America MG have won two of their last three games but failed to win any of their previous six
• Mineiro have won three in a row and sit in fourth place at present
• America MG have failed to win any of the last 16 meetings between the sides

Atletico Mineiro to keep things rolling

America MG looked to be having a mini revival a couple of weeks ago with consecutive wins over Bahia and Santos but they failed to build on those victories with a 4-0 loss to Fortaleza in midweek.

Mineiro have won three in a row to keep pace with the sides above them at the top of the league. They are currently in fourth place having won six of their opening 10 games of the season, scoring 13 along the way.

Atletico Mineiro currently sit at evens to win this match and we think that represents real value for a side that haven’t lost against these opponents in their last 16 meetings. We’re backing them to pick up the three points here but an average of 1.3 goals per game so far lead us to think it won’t be a big scoreline for the visitors. We’re forecasting a slender 1-0 win for Mineiro, a result that leave America MG in plenty of trouble.
