Atletico Mineiro v Fortaleza Betting Tips [25 June 2022]

Atletico Mineiro are looking to build up their title defence after a shaky opening in the Brazilian topflight. Next up for them is a home game against Fortaleza. Atletico Mineiro go into this game with 21 points in fourth place, while Fortaleza are placed 19th with 10 points. The recent matches have marked an improvement for Atletico Mineiro especially as far as defence is concerned. They have two clean sheets in the last three matches, and are unbeaten in the last four. The home team has scored two or more goals in three of the last five matches and coming from two back to back wins, they will be charged up for this. They’ve also registered three straight wins over Fortaleza in their recent meetings.

Fortaleza have managed just two wins in their opening 13 league matches. Their recent outings have represented great improvement, and two straight wins will give them some belief going into this game. They have three clean sheets in the last four matches and as much as they will be confident of building on that, this isn’t an opponent they’ve really prevailed against. In the last five meetings with Atletico Mineiro, Fortaleza have managed just one win. Things haven’t worked in a great way for them away from home too; they go into this game with four away losses in five league games and they’ve conceded two or more goals in three of these five away matches.

Atletico Mineiro have done well in this fixture in the recent meetings, and here too, they will be the favorites. While Fortaleza have picked up well in recent matches, here they face a tough opponent, and their away run hasn’t been great either. Back the home team to win here.
