The visitors of the upcoming match round out the top ten of the tournament standings with 12 points. Flamengo is in the qualification zone of Copa Sudamericana, and the distance to the nearest opponent from the zone of Copa Libertadores is two points. In the current league, the Red-Blacks have scored nine and conceded six goals. The ten matches of the team ended in six victories, one draw, and three defeats. In recent rounds, Flamengo RJ lost to Fluminense (0-1), Juventude (1-0) and Bragantino (2-3), as well as defeated Cuiaba (0-2), Fortaleza (2-1), and Palmeiras (1-0). In the last five away matches, the Red-Blacks chalked up two victories, two draws, and one defeat.
The last ten head-to-head matches of the teams ended in four wins of Atletico Mineiro, four victories of Flamengo, and two draws. The last game was played on the pitch of Atletico Mineiro in the previous championship. Then the Roosters won 4-0. As we can see, both opponents have gained the same number of victories in recent head-to-head confrontations. However, Atletico Mineiro won both games in the last season of the championship. In the current season, the teams show similar results. But Flamengo does not look like an outsider in this pair. I think that both teams will have a difficult time and won’t score a large number of goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
