Racing Club vs Atletico Mineiro Betting Tips & Predictions

The two sides have never faced each other before and both teams will be keen to prevent their opponent from scoring and taking the advantage to the second leg, because of this it is likely we will see a cagey game and Racing Club will look to defend well and prevent Atlético from scoring a potentially crucial away goal.

Judging by their results in the groups Atlético appear to be the stronger team as they finished comfortably on top whilst scoring two goals per game on average and conceding less than one. However, it could be argued that Racing Club had a much tougher group as matches were more even and the points were spread out more evenly between all the teams in the group.

Being the home side it is expected Racing Club will get the result here, despite their recent form they have a good record at home having only lost one of their last ten home games. I don’t think we will see many goals as the home side will be hoping to restrict Atlético’s attacking play as best as possible. As a result Under 2.5 Goals at 13/20 with Betfair looks to be good value, with Racing Club to sneak it 1-0 at 11/2.
