2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. That’s the product of Atlético Mineiro playing as the away team in the Serie A this season. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Atlético Mineiro are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

Two away games in a row for Atlético, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 against Corinthians in the Copa do Brasil. Hulk, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.14. Hulk hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 5 of 5 times.

A draw for Atlético Mineiro before that, at their own venue hosting Palmeiras (1-1).

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Copa Libertadores trip to Alianza Lima.

The travelling fans enjoy Atlético's attacking play in away games, having scored 6 goals in 4 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Atlético Mineiro as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
