Atletico Mineiro vs Atletico PR Predictions
This game sees two teams that are having strong seasons meet. Atletico Mineiro are in 4th place just 4 points off the top as we head into the second half of the season while Atletico PR are only 3 places further back in 7th. Both sides do though come into the game after disappointing defeats last weekend.
Atletico Mineiro travelled to their top-of-the-table showdown at Santos full of confidence having won all of their previous 5 league games. They were up against a Santos side missing several key players too but the game didn’t go the way of the Belo Horizonte side at all. The hosts cruised to a 3-0 victory and Atletico’s big-name forward line was left scratching its heads. They’ll be glad to get back on home soil here though as they chase a 7th successive home win in the league.
This might be quite a good time to be playing Atletico PR too. They appear to have just lost their way slightly after a great start to the campaign. They come into this match with many injury and suspension problems and having lost 3 of their last 4 league games. Their successes have almost exclusively come on home soil this season but a 1-0 defeat to Palmeiras on their own ground last weekend brought their fine home run to an end. On the road they’ve lost 7 of their 10 Serie A matches in 2016 and it’s hard to see them avoiding defeat here given how strong the opposition is.
Both coaches have major selection problems here with multiple absentees but the hosts look in better shape still overall. Atletico Mineiro normally win at home and they normally score plenty of goals too but aren’t always as tight as they’d like to be at the back. Their last 6 home games have all resulted in wins and there have been over 2.5 goals in all 6 games. Given that, backing Atletico Mineiro & Over 2.5 Goals at 11/8 looks to offer great value here.
