Atletico Mineiro are battling for a place in next season’s Copa Libertadores and come into this game in good form with four wins and no defeats in their last six games. The hosts should have too much for struggling Fortaleza, who have won just one of their last 19 trips and have lost five of their last eight away.

Veteran forward Hulk has hit some form for Atletico Mineiro with three goals in his last four games. Hulk had a goal and two assists in the win over Sport Recife last time out and the former Porto man looks a strong candidate for a goal on Wednesday.

Chico midfielder Johan Bocanegra has a modest four goals in 17 games this season but two of those strikes have come in his last three home games, so he looks a decent value pick for an anytime goal in this clash.

Both teams have scored in three of Mineiro’s last five home games and they have scored in eight of their last nine at this venue, while Fortaleza have failed to score in just one of their last eight league trips so goals at both ends looks likely.

Both teams have scored in four of Millonarios’ last six games and in two of Boyaca Chico’s last four at home. This is unlikely to be a particularly high-scoring game but both of these sides concede on average over a goal per-game so both look capable of getting on the scoresheet.

Mineiro have conceded in three of their last four home games, however, and Fortaleza have failed to score in just one of their last eight league trips so the hosts may concede in victory.

Boyaca Chico have drawn three of their last four home games while Millonarios have drawn three of their last four matches overall. With nothing but pride at stake and neither side in good form, it’s hard to recommend either of them to win it.

Italy won the reverse fixture 2-0 but could have won by a wider margin and they are capable of putting together a big score here. Moldova have shipped 26 goals in just six qualifiers, while the Italians are averaging three goals per-game and have scored 16 goals in four games since these sides last met.

Portugal have hit 11 goals in just four qualifying games and have scored more than twice in two of their last four games.
