Atletico Mineiro hosts Chapecoense-SC in round 5 of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 22nd at Mineirão (Belo Horizonte)
Atletico Mineiro was able to maintain good shape, which allowed it to come 3rd to the finish line in the last championship. Beyond that, Cuca’s charges had constant playing practice in the spring. They won another Campeonato Mineiro, even though both final matches against America Mineiro ended without goals scored. The Roosters did not experience any particular problems in Copa Libertadores, earning 16 out of 18 possible points in the group. Then they started with a misfire in Serie A, but apparently, they simply underestimated Fortaleza. In that match, Atletico Mineiro managed to take the lead after a goal from the penalty spot by the Hulk. But in the last half an hour, the visitors snatched a comeback victory. After that, the Roosters won all matches and didn’t concede a single goal. They beat Sport Recife, São Paulo, and Internacional with the same 1-0 score. Let's note Hulk, who was involved in all three goals: in addition to a goal from the penalty spot, he scored himself again and acted as an assistant.

Chapecoense-SC has not yet managed to win after returning to Brasileiro. The management of the team is also guilty, as it is overly addicted to the rotation of coaches this spring. Mozart, who played as a midfielder at Spartak Moscow, stayed in the head coach's chair for a month. The ex-midfielder was not forgiven for a defeat to Avai in the final of Campeonato Catarinense. Chapecoense returned to Serie A only this season and started disastrously, with two defeats to Red Bull Bragantino and Palmeiras. And both opponents scored three goals. Still, Jair Ventura is gradually fixing the situation. Truth be told, the next opponents were rather modest. At first, the Greens managed to gain a home goalless draw against Ceara. And in the last round, they managed to respond to Eder's goal and tied against São Paulo away (1-1). However, the grandee fails the beginning of the season, and Rodrigo Nestor left his club in the minority even before the break. He received a red card in the 41st minute.
Chapecoense lost only one out of the last seven head-to-head matches. It happened in 2019, and that championship ended with the relegation of the Greens to Serie B. Bookmakers are waiting for a victory of the briskly started team over the newcomer, which looks quite unstable. But looking at the statistics of the teams, it is worth choosing an option with Under 3.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
