Fortaleza vs Atletico Mineiro Predictions

• Atletico Mineiro have conceded only four goals across their six away trips this season
• The hosts have drawn 0-0 or 1-1 in five of 11 Serie A games
• The visitors have seen under 2.5 goals in four straight league games

Atletico on fine run

Atletico Mineiro are in solid form, but unspectacular form heading into Saturday’s trip. The visitors are unbeaten in their last seven matches in Serie A, picking up four victories. They make this trip with the best away record in Brazil’s top flight, while their defence has been fantastic.

The visitors have the second-best defensive record in the division, conceding only four times across their six away trips this term. That makes them difficult opponents for Fortaleza, who have built up a solid record at home.

Goals at a premium

The hosts have gone unbeaten through five games at home this term, conceding only three times. They’ve seen three low-scoring draws at home in Serie A this term, while they’ve drawn 0-0 or 1-1 on five occasions after just 11 matches.

With Atletico MG keeping plenty of clean sheets, this should be a tight game. The visitors have seen under 2.5 goals in their last four matches in Serie A, which have brought three 1-1 draws. However, Fortaleza’s fine defensive record suggests this could be even tighter, so look to under 2.5 goals as the best bet here, while a 0-0 draw is my correct score prediction.
