Atletico Mineiro vs Flamengo Prediction
Atletico Mineiro are sixth in the league, and have won only one of their last five league games. They do not lack experience, especially in attack, with the likes of Hulk and Chile international Eduardo Vargas in the squad.
Former Sevilla left-back and Brazil international Guilherme Arana and veteran Uruguayan centre-back Diego Godin are a part of the squad as well; their current form, however, does not accurately depict the quality they possess. They need to start getting positive results soon.
Flamengo, on the other hand, are 10th in the league. Like Atletico Mineiro, the attacking talent of Flamengo is unquestionable, with forwards like Gabriel Barbosa and Giorgian de Arrascaeta threatening going forward. With reports suggesting that the club is close to signing Benfica attacker Everton Cebolinha, Flamengo will be aiming to outscore their opponents on a regular basis.
It will be interesting to see what the club does with midfielder Andreas Pereira. It has been reported that Flamengo will not sign the Manchester United midfielder on a permanent deal.
A close match is on the cards, but Flamengo should edge past Atletico Mineiro.
