Flamengo vs Atletico Mineiro

Flamengo are aiming to maintain the pressure on the leaders as they host Atletico Mineiro in a Brazilian Serie A fixture.

The hosts are enjoying a solid campaign and often do their best work in front of their fans. They should come out on top against the visitors who often find things difficult on their travels.

Flamengo News

Flamengo are enjoying a solid campaign so far, having picked up 10 wins from 15 league matches. They are currently second in the table, just one point behind Cruzeiro, and also have a game in hand.

It has been mostly smooth sailing for Flamengo since returning from the FIFA Club World Cup, with three wins in four matches, including a 2-1 victory at Bragantino last time out. Filipe Luiz’s team have also impressed at home, winning their last five matches in front of their fans.

Pedro has impressed for Flamengo this season, scoring five goals in 10 appearances so far. The hosts often take a while to get going, with all five goals in their last four matches coming after the break, while three of their last four home fixtures have produced over 1.5 goals.

Atletico Mineiro News

Atletico Mineiro have found things difficult lately and are winless in three of their last four matches across all competitions. Cuca’s team were beaten 3-2 at Palmeiras in their previous fixture and lost on penalties to Bucaramanga in the Copa Do Brasil following a 1-1 draw on aggregate.

The defeat to Palmeiras is part of a poor away record for Atletico Mineiro, who are winless in seven of their last 10 matches on the road. These struggles have seen them drop to ninth in the table, and they will be desperate to avoid slipping into the bottom half.

Five of Atletico Mineiro’s last nine away matches across all competitions have produced over 1.5 goals. Like the hosts, they also like to leave things late, with four of their last five away goals coming after the break.

Head to Head

Flamengo are the superior force in this fixture and have claimed seven wins and two draws from the last 12 matches, with Atletico Mineiro picking up just three victories. The hosts have won three of the last four meetings but were held to a 0-0 away draw in the most recent clash back in November.
