Atlético Mineiro form and stats

The story so far in the Serie A for Atlético Mineiro at their home stadium (Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto) is 6 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats. Atlético are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto, having lost their two previous games here.

Atlético Mineiro are returning here after visiting Bragantino and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Hulk and Gomes scored the goal(s). World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Scolari when Gomes scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 75th minute. Midfield player Rubens got a match rating of 8.31 in that game, the max score being 10. Rubens hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Before that game, the home loss against Cruzeiro with the scoreline 0-1.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Atlético Mineiro's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 6 games, won 3 matches, drawn 1 and lost 2.

It should be noted that a look at the 16 latest league matches shows that 12 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the sides scored a goal).

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Fortaleza in only four days. This game is also played here at Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto.

The Atlético fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 14 matches. Atlético Mineiro are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 13 from 14 matches.

Fluminense form and stats

Fluminense have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 2-2-9 (13 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

Fluminense won their last game, 5-3 versus Goias played at home. That win felt nice as this side had gone four league fixtures without victory. Fluminense can call themselves comeback kings after the match against Goias. Buried deep in trouble at 0-2, the troops rallied and completely turned the match around to a 5-3 victory. Keno scored the final goal. Midfield player Keno was the top player of the team with a match rating of 9.8/10. Keno scored two goals, served one assist, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 4 times.

Prior to that match, the Fluminense manager Silva faced defeat when travelling to Bragantino and losing 0-1.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Fluminense when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 4 matches with the visitors losing 3 times, drawing 1 and winning 0 games.

The schedule is very tough for Fluminense now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie A game at Bahia is waiting in only three days.

Fluminense find the net regularly in their away games. 14 goals from 13 away fixtures in the league. In the opposite end, Fluminense have conceded 24 goals in their away games.
