Atlético Mineiro form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 5 wins, 6 draws and 3 defeats.

Atlético Mineiro go into this game after a win, the home game against Fluminense that ended 2-0. Those three points felt good as this club had gone three league games without victory. The attacker Hulk got a match rating of 9.42 in that game. Hulk scored two goals, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

A loss against Palmeiras was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Lacking goals? 8 of this club's last 10 league rounds have contained zero, one or two goals.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Ceará in just four days.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Atlético have scored 15 goals in 14 league games away. Atlético Mineiro have conceded 15 goals in these away matches.
