Atlético Mineiro

LWWWWW 🔥

Atlético Mineiro will be looking for a repeat result of the 2-1 Copa Libertadores success versus Atletico PR.

The only name on the scoresheet from Atlético Mineiro was Paulinho (68', 87'). Alex Santana (51') scored for Atletico PR.

Their more recent scorelines shine a light on the fact that there has been much resilience in the Atlético Mineiro rearguard. Atlético Mineiro have kept it tight, with the tally of goals that have gone in at their end during their last 6 games standing at 4.

A look at their previous results shows us that Atlético Mineiro:

• haven't won against Palmeiras in their last 3 matches in the league.

Palmeiras

WWDWDW 📈

Palmeiras go into this meeting after a 0-3 Copa Libertadores win in the defeat of Cerro Porteno in their last game.

For Palmeiras, the scorers were Artur (25', 58') and Rony (68').

A run of accomplished showings from the Palmeiras defence has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 2 from their previous 6 outings in total. Over that same period of time, their forwards have scored 16. Such a trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this match, though.

Ahead of this meeting, Palmeiras are undefeated in their previous 3 league matches away from home.

📋 Team News: Atlético Mineiro

There’s just a single fitness concern for the Atlético Mineiro gaffer Eduardo Coudet to be concerned with from an otherwise complete set of players. Alan Kardec (Herniated Disc) won’t play.

It seems likely that Galo should use a 4-4-2 formation for this game, beginning the first half with Éverson, Renzo Saravia, Bruno Fuchs, Jemerson, Dodô, Edenilson, Igor Gomes, Patrick, Hyoran, Hulk and Eduardo Vargas.

📰 Team News: Palmeiras

Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira has some current player fitness concerns. Murilo (Shoulder Injury), Eduard Atuesta (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Marcos Rocha (Hamstring Injury) can’t be considered.

From our viewpoint, Verdão will likely make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, giving starts to Weverton, Mayke, Gustavo Gomez, Luan, Joaquín Piquerez, Gabriel Menino, Zé Rafael, Artur, Raphael Veiga, Dudu and Rony.

⚡ Prediction

Our thinking is that Palmeiras may not find it easy to put one past this Atlético Mineiro side who we think will likely gain the upper hand.

We therefore fancy a 1-0 advantage for Atlético Mineiro at the end of this one.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
