Atletico Mineiro to Win
While Fortaleza is struggling to get out of the relegation zone at the moment, the defending champions are currently third in the standings, although not in such a great form.
Still, the difference in quality is clearly on the side of Atletico Mineiro and with them hosting the game, we don’t see any other outcome then a win for the home team. Furthermore, Atletico beat Fortaleza in four of their last five meetings.
Over 2.5 Total Goals
Three of the last four h2h meetings between Atletico Mineiro and Fortaleza have gone over 2.5 total goals, so we wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case on Sunday as well.
In addition to this, Atletico Mineiro averaged 2.54 goals per game so far in the league, although Fortaleza averaged just 2.00 goals per game in Serie A this season.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
We saw both teams score in two of the last five head-to-head duels between Atletico Mineiro and Fortaleza, but we can see that happening again in this game.
The reason lies in the fact that both teams scored in 54% of games played by both teams in the league so far, which makes both teams scoring in this game sound very plausible.
Atletico Mineiro vs Fortaleza preview: Can Fortaleza upset the champions?
Atletico Mineiro
The defending champions of Brazil have done well so far in their quest for another title, although the fans probably expected a bit more when it comes to their Serie A performances. In any case, Atletico Mineiro is currently sixth in the standings with 21 points, seven points behind Palmeiras in the first place, which keeps them in the race for now. Meanwhile, Mariano and Fernandez are out of the next game through suspensions, while Jair, Zaracho, and Keno are out with injuries.
Fortaleza
While Fortaleza fans can be happy with the fact that their team secured a spot in the Top 16 stage of Copa Libertadores, which will start next week, they are certainly disappointed by the team’s showing in Serie A so far. After all, Fortaleza only managed to collect ten points from the first thirteen games, which puts them in the last place in the standings and five points behind the first team outside of the relegation zone.
