• Venue: Mineirão (Belo Horizonte)

The series of three draws and one defeat came to an end over the weekend, when Atletico Mineiro proved greatness and quality, achieving an important triumph in the derby over Flamengo (2-1). Atletico Mineiro is defending the title in the Copa do Brasil, and Gallo had an impressive opening in the new campaign, eliminating Brasiliense from the first round with an overall 4-0 victory. Meanwhile, Flamengo is facing a results crisis in recent weeks, and Dorival Júnior's team has managed to triumph in just one of its previous five games, suffering four defeats in that time. Namely, Rubro-Negro managed to secure round of 16 in the Copa do Brasil, by being better than AE Altos in the first round with a 4-1 triumph, and the last title was lifted in 2013.

Atletico Mineiro vs Flamengo Betting Tips

On Sunday, Atletico Mineiro and Flamengo measured their strength for the first time in a new campaign, and the team from Belo Horizonte managed to take advantage of the home field and win 2-0. Before that, Atletico Mineiro was better than Flamengo in the Supercopa do Brasil with a 3-2 victory after the penalty, so Rubro-Negro are eager to take revenge on their biggest rival. Atletico Mineiro was not too stable in the back line on the home turf during the new campaign, keeping a clean sheet only three times in the previous 10 home games. Flamengo is certainly eager to get back on the winning track on the road, and I believe that Dorival Júnior's team will adopt an attacking approach from the first minute. Atletico Mineiro is a slight favorite for the triumph, but I think that now Flamengo will be much better than Sunday's clash, especially the attack, where I expect Rubro-Negro to find the net.
