Atletico Mineiro vs Internacional Prediction: Can the Hosts Make it Three in Three Wins at Home?

In the upcoming fixture Brazil Serie A, Atletico Mineiro will be hosting Internacional at the Estádio Mineirão in Belo Horizonte. Moving forward in the contest, Atletico Mineiro stands 8th with 2 wins and 7 points, whereas Internacional stands 11th with 2 wins and 7 points from 5 matches played. With both sides managing to stay active in the top 12 standings, the upcoming matchup could be an interesting one to witness and bet on. Atletico MG and Internacional last played against each other in August 2022, and Internacional won (3-0). From the last four matches played between the two, Atletico MG has won thrice, whereas Club Internacional has only been successful just once. With no draws in the last four outings between the two, I am expecting a concrete result at the end of the upcoming matchup.

Going in the matchup, Atletico Mineiro is coming off a win against Cuiaba (0-4), in which Hyoran started the goal-scoring proceedings with an assist made by Cristian Pavon in the 13th minute of play. Next, Hulk scored the second goal on penalty, followed by scoring from Pavon and Paulinho. With these players creating an impact as a unit, I am looking forward to a decent matchup against Internacional. In the last two home matches, Atletico MG has stood quite successful, winning them against Lima (2-0) and Athletico-PR (2-1). In the last five matches played across all competitions, Mineiro has scored 9 and conceded just 4 goals. Hence, Mineiro has quite a decent striking average, making them favorites for the upcoming matchup.

From the last five matches played across all competitions, Club Internacional has managed to secure just one win, and that was against Goias (1-0). Coming off two consecutive defeats, the pressure will be on Internacional. However, we might expect some reasonable comeback from Mano Menezes and his team. With the likes of Wanderson, Adriano, Baralhas, and Bustos in the lineup, Internacional will be looking forward to bouncing back hard in the Serie A competition. With 2 defeats, 2 draws, and a win in the last five matches played, Internacional will be looking forward to settling themselves first and then striking as a unit. About the scoring, Internacional has managed to score only 4 goals in the last five matches played, averaging 0.80 goals per game. In comparison to the scoring average, Internacional has conceded 8 goals, averaging 1.60 goals per game.

Internacional in its last two away matches, has struggled. However, the matchup against Mineiro may get them the momentum to win. I am backing Atletico MG to win the upcoming matchup and maximize the home advantage. The match total is expected to be over under 2.5 goals, and only Mineiro to score. Mineiro has managed to keep clean sheets in 2 of the last 5 matches played.
