Atletico Mineiro take on the visitors Flamengoin the round 13 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, June 19th at Mineirão (Belo Horizonte).
It won't be easy for Atlético Mineiro to defend title. They had a great last season, taking 26 wins and 84 points in 38 matches - with a margin, he managed to get the championship title. Only the second in history, and after half a century of waiting! But, of course, it is always more difficult to stay on top than to climb it. Just recently they managed to take 1st place in the Copa Libertadores group. But within the framework of Serie A, Hulk and the company have not enough victories (although there are even fewer defeats) to remain among the undisputed leaders in this draw. Match against Ceara in the last round ended in a goalless draw.

Flamengo are frankly failing so far. The Vultures were the No. 1 force in Brazilian football at the end of the last decade: winning Serie A in both 2019 and 2020, triumphing in the Cope Libertadores 2019. Against this background, the 2nd place in the domestic arena and the defeat in the final of the main international cup of South America was already a step back. To fix everything, they bought out Paulo Souza from the Polish national team, and seriously strengthened the squad, including Ayrton and other players who played in Eastern Europe. This, to put it mildly, did not work. If the Brazilians made it to the playoffs in the Cope Libertadores, they actually failed in the domestic arena. As a result, in early June, Dorival Junior became the coach. He started with 1-3 against Internacional, after which they were ahead of Cuiaba only in additional indicators, which was in the relegation zone.
The teams exchanged home wins last season. And the current one started with the Super Cup, and after 2-2 in regular time, Atlético Mineiro won in a very long penalty shootout. Flamengo comes to life and wants to build on the success, and the champion is clearly out of shape. We dare to believe that the visitors will avoid a defeat.
Prediction for the match: Flamengo to win with +0.5 handicap (X2).
