Atlético Mineiro form and stats

Overall Serie A stats at home this season for Atlético Mineiro are 3-1-1 (wins-draw-losses). The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of five straight victories regardless of arena.

The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Boca Juniors (after extra-time, 3-1 on penalties) in the Copa Libertadores last time out and are looking for a win here. Defender Mariano got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.45/10. Mariano hit one key pass and won 6 of 8 duels.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Corinthians and winning 2-1.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Atlético as they have a new game in only three days, a Copa do Brasil match thankfully also at home. Bahia are visiting.

Atlético have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio with 9 goals in 5 league matches. Atlético Mineiro have conceded 5 in these home matches.

Bahia form and stats

The visitors are W2-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A.

Bahia have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 191 minutes ago. M. Bahia was the goal scorer.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie A home defeat versus Flamengo with 0-5 on the scoreboard. Patrick de Lucca got a match rating of 6.84 in that game, top player of the team. Lucca had 36 successful passes (of 37 total). Bahia lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.

A 0-1 defeat away at Sao Paulo before that.

The schedule is very tough for Bahia now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa do Brasil game at Atlético Mineiro is waiting in only three days.

Bahia has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 9 goals from 5 games. Bahia struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 8 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - six - three (Atlético wins - draws - Bahia wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.
