Flamengo vs Atletico Mineiro Prediction and Betting Tips | November 13th 2024

Flamengo and Atletico Mineiro renew acquaintances in Brasileiro Serie A when they square off at the Estadio Maracana on Wednesday. Both sides met over two legs in the Copa do Brasil final last week, with Filipe Luis’ Flamengo prevailing to clinch their fifth cup title.

Having claimed a 3-1 first-leg victory on November 3, Gonzalo Plata’s second-half strike in the return leg on Sunday saw Flamengo complete a 4-1 victory on aggregate in the 2024 Copa do Brasil final.

Luis’ side now turn their focus to Serie A, where they are unbeaten in five of their last six games — claiming four wins and one draw — with a 2-0 loss against Fluminense on October 18 being the exception.

With 58 points from 32 matches, Flamengo are currently fifth in the Serie A standings, 10 points off league leaders Botafogo with six games to go.

As for Atletico Mineiro, they have failed to win five games on the bounce in all competitions, including three defeats in their last three outings since the start of November.

This slump in form has been due to their struggles in attack, where they have netted just two goals in their last five matches, while allowing eight at the opposite end of the pitch.

Mineiro have picked up 41 points from 31 Serie A matches to sit 11th in the table, level on points with 10th-placed Corinthians, albeit with two games in hand.
