America Mineiro vs Atletico Mineiro Prediction and Betting Tips | August 28, 2022

Atletico Mineiro v America MG - Copa CONMEBOL Libertadores 2022
America Mineiro will meet Atletico Mineiro on Sunday.

America Mineiro and Atletico Mineiro will square off at the Estadio Raimundo Sampaio in Round 24 of the Brasileiro Serie A on Sunday.

The Alvinegro head into the weekend unbeaten in 19 of the last 20 meetings between the two teams and will look to continue in the same vein.

America Mineiro were denied a fifth league win on the trot last Sunday, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Athletico Paranaense.

That followed a 2-2 draw with Sao Paulo in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinal clash on August 19 as they lost 3-2 on aggregate. With 31 points from 23 games, America Mineiro are ninth in the Brasileiro Serie A table, level on points with tenth-placed Red Bull Bragantino.

Meanwhile, Atletico Mineiro were sent crashing down to earth with a 1-0 home loss against Goias in their last game. Before that, they picked up a hard-earned 1-0 victory away to Coritiba a fortnight ago, snapping a six-game winless run.

Atletico Mineiro have now claimed nine wins and lost six of their 23 league games, collecting 35 points and sitting seventh in the points table. They are three points off the final Copa Libertadores qualification spot.
