Atlético Mineiro
WWWLDD
Atlético Mineiro go into this match following on from a 0-0 Serie A stalemate against São Paulo.
In that game, Atlético Mineiro had 59% possession and 25 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. São Paulo got 6 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Their latest results really do illustrate the point that much respect should be given to the Atlético Mineiro defence. Atlético Mineiro have been miserly, resulting in the tally of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their previous six games standing at 3. That trend might not be carried forward into this game, of course.

At the other end, Deportes Iquique will be up against it getting on the scoresheet but we can see them being dangerous at times, too.
Therefore, we are anticipating a comfortable 3-1 win for Atlético Mineiro when the full-time whistle blows.
