Atletico Mineiro vs Atletico GO Predictions

• Five of Atletico Mineiro’s last six outings have seen both teams score
• Both teams have also netted in four of Atletico Goianiense’s last five fixtures
• The hosts have only failed to score in one of their last ten home league outings

Atletico Mineiro chasing glory

At the time of writing, Atletico Mineiro sit only a couple of points outside of the continental places, aided by a 2-1 victory at Internacional last time out that ended a three-game winless streak.

That was the fifth time in six outings that both teams have scored, so while the Roosters are doing well at one end of the field, they are struggling defensively.

Gabriel Milito’s side should be expected to score though, as they have done so in all bar one of their ten Serie A outings since October, six of which have seen both teams score.

Can Atletico Goianiense end poor run?

Opponents Atletico GO on the other hand arrive at Arena MRV having gone three games without a victory, most recently a 1-1 stalemate with Gremio.

That means they head into this round of fixtures just one point above the relegation zone, a perilous position for a club who have kept merely a couple of clean sheets in their dozen league outings this season.

Half of those have resulted in both teams scoring, including four of the last five, so they are at least beginning to hit form from an attacking sense – they just need to keep the ball out at the other end.

I predict that both teams will score, selecting 2-1 to Atletico MG as my correct score prediction.
