Atlético-MG vs Fluminense Prediction: Two talented teams meet at the Arena MRV

Both Atlético Mineiro and Fluminense won their matches in Round 29 of the Brasileirão. The Rooster sensationally beat RB Bragantino, second in the table and the league's most in-form team. Not to mention that the win came at the Red Bull's stadium, where the home team had only suffered one defeat to date. Fluminense's victory over Goiás is also worthy of note, as the final score was 5-3, a match packed with goals. The duel between the Mineiros and the Cariocas promises to be interesting, as there is a lot of talent in both sides.

Atlético-MG

In its last four games, Scolari's team has lost both at home and won both away. As stated in the prediction for the RB Bragantino - Atlético Mineiro match, the Rooster prefers to play deep, waiting for an opportunity to counter-attack, so it's a lot more comfortable for the team to play away from home. Atlético Mineiro is currently the team with the most points on the road, along with Flamengo. The Mineiros have managed 25 away points, four more than the 21 obtained at home. Atlético is in seventh place with just one point ahead of its opponent, Fluminense, so another home defeat would see the team drop to eighth.

Fluminense

The Tricolor was 2-0 down against Goiás in the 13th minute, but an excellent reaction from the team completely changed the course of the game, and by the 53rd minute, it was already leading 5-2. Fernando Diniz's team is very erratic, alternating pale displays with others where the team's attacking style is very enjoyable to watch. The Copa Libertadores final is approaching, and we don't know which version of Fluminense will show up at the Arena MRV. Away from home, the Cariocas are struggling, having not picked up a win on the road in the Brasileirão for almost six months.

Expert Betting Tips

It's not easy to predict the outcome of this match, with Atlético struggling to take control of the game at home and Fluminense having not won away since May. Historically, Fluminense hasn't been very happy when it travels to Belo Horizonte. In 40 Brasileirão encounters at the Atlético's stadium, the Cariocas have won just five times against 23 victories for the Mineiros. Still, I'm going to bet on a surprise, as the odds are appealing. I'm betting on a Double Chance for Fluminense, which could get a good result if the home team feels too much pressure to win.
