America Mineiro take on the visitors Fortaleza in the round 14 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, June 26th at Mineirão (Belo Horizonte).
Atlético Mineiro will be struggling to defend the title. In 2021 they completed a long, half-century saga. Since 1971, after the first championship title, entire generations of fans have been waiting for a repeat. And only in the last Serie A draw, with the Hulk returning to his homeland, did he manage to take the “gold” again. The new season is going well for the team. They took 1st place in his Copa Libertadores group. But at the same time, in Brasileirao, the results are rather mediocre. But with Flamengo it turned out to improve things: they beat them consistently in the championship and in the cup.

Fortaleza this season even more than just fails. From 2010 to 2017, the “Tricolors of Steel” invariably played at the level of Serie C. Then, having passed the 2nd division of the country in a year, they seemed to be able to gain a foothold in the “elite”. Moreover, 2021 brought a high, 4th place. But it turned out that this rise was followed by an equally sharp decline. In the Cope Libertadores, having won in the last round away from Colo-Colo, they were ahead of the Chileans in the dispute for 2nd place in the group - and with it the right to play in the playoffs. But at the same time, everything in Serie A ended with an incredible failure of the starting segment, with 2 points in the first 8 rounds. Yes, in June there was an away victory over Flamengo, followed by draws with Goias and Atlético Paranaense. But they did not allow to leave the last place, especially since this was followed by 2-3 with Avai. On the other hand, in the last round of Serie A, due to a goal by Iago Pikachu, they beat America Mineiro. And then Ceara was beaten in the cup.
All 3 of the last matches, in last year's Serie A and twice in the cup, were won by Atlético Mineiro. Fortaleza is not so bad, but Atlético Mineiro has improved. Better pick a neutral outcome "over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
