Flamengo vs Atletico Mineiro Predictions

• Atletico Mineiro have scored 16 times in their seven games in the state championship
• Flamengo saw both teams score in their final five matches at home last season
• Four of Atletico’s last five away league games have finished level

Flamengo may have won the title last time out, but the departure of Jorge Jesus makes things tougher for them this season. Their start looks particularly tricky, as Atletico Mineiro have made a big signing to get Jorge Sampaoli in as their manager. Could that bridge the gap to the champions?

The visitors ended last season in average form, drawing four of their final five away trips. They’ve warmed up for this one well, hitting 16 goals across their state championship matches. They should capitalise on a Flamengo side who already had problems last season, with both teams scoring in their final five home games of last year’s league campaign.

With the last three meetings between these two seeing both teams score, we’re backing that to continue given that the gap between the two is closing. We’re also going for a 1-1 draw as our correct score prediction, following the visitors run of draws.
