Atlético Mineiro form and stats

Atlético Mineiro, who have the most points (39) at home in Serie A, have performed here at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio this season with 12 wins from 16 Serie A matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 1. There’s a good atmosphere here at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio after three straight home wins.

A nice win for Atlético last time playing, versus Santos. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Jefferson Savarino (2) scoring for the victors. Heartbreak before that as Atlético lost 2-3 at Vasco da Gama's place.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Atlético as they are travelling to their away game against Goiás in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (36 in 16 games), Atlético's attacking play is working. From these home matches, Atlético Mineiro have conceded only 12 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Fortaleza form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Fortaleza so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 2-5-9 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Fortaleza as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Botafogo match.

There might be some fixture complaints from Fortaleza as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Serie A match against Atlético GO (0-2). Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Santos.

A quick return to home after this game, as Fortaleza are hosting Coritiba in the Serie A only four days away.

The attacking power of Fortaleza when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored from 16 league matches away. 22 goals have been conceded by Fortaleza in these games.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Fortaleza - Atlético 2-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last seven meetings): Atlético won two games, two matches ended with a draw and Fortaleza has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / one
