ATLETICO MG v CORITIBA
Monday 18th July 2016 – Kickoff: 2000hrs
Football – Brazil – Serie A Betting Tips
In the only Brazilian Serie A fixture being played on Monday night, hosts Atletico Mineiro know that if they take all three points against struggling Coritiba at their Estádio Raimundo Sampaio in Belo Horizonte, they will jump up into 7th place.
Atletico MG have played their last two matches away from home which have resulted in a 1-1 draw at Figuirense and then a 2-0 loss at sixth placed Flamengo, so they’ll no doubt be relieved to be back on home turf for this clash.
Atletico MG’s overall home record stands at a reasonable 4-1-2 14/11 and this has been improved upon by registering three wins on the trot against Ponte Preta, Corinthians and Botafogo – two of which are situated in the top seven of Serie A.
Visitors Coritiba find themselves second from bottom in the Brazilian top flight following a poor start to their season which saw them win just twice in their first nine league matches (both of which were home wins by the way).
However, Coritiba have clawed their way back to a more acceptable level of form as they’ve now gone five matches without defeat, but there have been four draws within this stretch which have prevented them from lifting themselves out of the bottom four.
In addition, Coritiba have failed to win a single game away from home so far this season amidst a poor away record of 0-2-4 3/8 with goals proving elusive for tonight’s visitors; Coritiba have failed to score on three occasions this season already from their six away matches.
