NextGOAL tip: Atlético Mineiro (level) · 3 stars
The last 6 meetings between these two ended with 2 draws, and the remaining 4 were split with 2 wins each. But this time Atlético Mineiro are in different form, unbeaten in 5 straight (0-0, 1-1, 2-1), while Cruzeiro have just lost 1 and are winless in 2 straight. The home side should control the game a bit more, and with both teams conceding heavily late in games (Atlético Mineiro concede 25% of their goals in the 76-90 min period, while Cruzeiro concede 23% in the same period), this match should have goal-scoring chances until the final minute. If Atlético Mineiro maintain the defensive standard they've shown in the last 5, at the very least they won't lose this one.
