Sao Paulo vs Atletico Mineiro Betting Tips & Predictions

These two clubs have faced each other many times before as they both play in Brazil’s Serie A, the most recent meeting coming in November 2015 and ending in a win for São Paulo. The home side has only won this competition once before in their history, lifting the trophy in 2012. Their opponents Atlético Mineiro meanwhile, have also won the Copa Libertadores once before, a year later in 2013.

Although Atlético Mineiro won their group and their last 16 tie comfortably, São Paulo will be the favourite for this match. Being the home side and having a better head to head record, they will be a tough team to beat. On top of this São Paulo come into the game on a five-match unbeaten run at home whilst Atlético Mineiro have failed to win in their last four away matches.

Based on the two teams scoring records against each other, coupled with the fact that São Paulo will be doing their best to stop the opposition getting an away goal, the likelihood is we will see a fairly low scoring game, under 2.5 goals seems like a good bet and is currently priced at 4/7 on Betfair.
