Betting tips Atletico Mineiro vs Santos

The Galo will be looking to bounce back from a surprise 5:3 loss at Fluminese in midweek and they should be confident with Santos arriving in Belo Horizonte having failed to win any of their last 5 league outings ( 4 draws, 1 loss).

On the road, Santos have struggled badly for form, winning only 1 of their last 10 matches with 5 defeats coming during that period

In contrast, the Brazilian champions have won 3 of their first 5 home matches of the season including their two most recent outings at the Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto. Going back a little further, Mineiro have won 7 of their last 10 league fixtures on home soil since last November.

Recent meetings between these sides have also favoured Mineiro with the hosts winning 4 of their last 5 matches against Santos in Belo Horizonte. Mineiro also scored 2 goals or more in all 4 victories and a similar outcome should be anticipated on Sunday with the visitors winning only once since 2007 in away matches against Mineiro. 

Ultimately, while both sides are still looking for improvements in their early-season performance, Mineiro have the greater quality to be backed with confidence at 1.53 odds to claim all 3 points while those in search of more value should consider backing the home side to take the spoils with at least 2 goals scored.

Final score 2:1
