Betting on Atletico Mineiro
Atlético Mineiro had a decent campaign in the last edition of the Brasileirão. Although they were far from being in contention for the title, they finished in seventh place, which earned them a spot in the qualifying stages of the Copa Libertadores.
They managed to make it to the group stages but started off with a loss in their first match against Libertad at home. However, they bounced back quickly in the Campeonato Mineiro, securing a 2-0 victory over América-MG to clinch the title.
This win marked their fourth victory in their last five matches across all competitions, which bodes well for their chances of starting off on the right foot this Saturday against Vasco de Gama.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Everson; Mariano, Mauricio Lemos, Jemerson, Rubens; Igor Gomes, Otavio, Matias Zaracho; Cristian Pavon, Hulk, Paulinho.
Betting on Vasco da Gama
Vasco de Gama secured fourth place in the second division of Brazilian football, earning a well-deserved promotion back to the first division league, where they belong. However, they face a tough challenge in their opening match, playing away against Atlético Mineiro, especially considering their recent form.
The team has suffered three consecutive defeats, with their latest loss being a 1-3 defeat against Flamengo in the Campeonato Carioca semi-finals, where they were outclassed by their opponents in both legs of the tie.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Leo Jardim; José Luis Rodríguez, Manuel Vicente Capasso, Leo, Lucas Piton; Andrey Santos, Jair, Rodrigo Alves; Gabriel Pec, Pedro Raul, Alex Teixeira.
JefeBet Prediction
Atlético Mineiro has a good record against Vasco de Gama at home, having not lost in five out of the last seven matches played between the two sides. This positive trend could continue this weekend, especially considering Vasco de Gama’s recent defeat to Flamengo, which showed them what it takes to compete at the highest level.
Therefore, it seems likely that the visitors will struggle against Atlético Mineiro, making the home team the clear favorite to win this match in the first round of the competition.
Prediction: Atletico Mineiro Moneyline (ATL 2-0 VAS).
