Atletico Mineiro vs Fortaleza Prediction

Galo have just one win in their last five league outings and have suffered two losses on the trot. They have suffered just one loss in their last nine home games in the Brazilian Serie A and have won their three home meetings against the visitors, scoring 10 goals, and will look to build on that form.

Leão do Pici bounced back with a win and returned to goalscoring ways after two defeats on Wednesday and will look to continue this form. Their last away win against the hosts was registered in the Brazilian Serie A in 2021.

While five of the last six meetings between the two teams have produced over 2.5 goals, both teams have some absentees due to injuries and the Copa America, which will surely impact the outcome of the match. With that in mind, a low-scoring draw seems to be on the cards.

Prediction: Atletico Mineiro 1-1 Fortaleza
