ATLETICO MINEIRO v FLUMINENSE
Sunday 10th June 2018 – Kickoff: 1600hrs
Football – Brazil – Serie A Betting Tips
Atletico Mineiro will head into Sunday afternoon’s clash with Fluminense in confident mood after their local derby win over America Mineiro, and they hold home advantage once again for this encounter as the hosts look to post back-to-back wins in Serie A.
A recent point against Chapecoense in a 3-3 draw and the derby win have helped lift Atletico Mineiro into the top four of the Brazilian top flight, and with a fairly reasonable home record which stands at 3-1-1 7/5 which includes wins over Vitoria, Corinthians and Cruzeiro, the hosts will be confident that they can add to their points tally here.
In addition, Atletico Mineiro have suffered just one defeat from their last nine at their Estádio Raimundo Sampaio which was a 1-0 loss to current Serie A league leaders, Flamengo, but with the likes of Guedes (6 goals), Oliveira (5 goals) and Serginho (4 goals) in form, they’ll be hard to beat here.
It would be fair to say that Fluminense have made a disappointing start to their new Serie A campaign as they sit mid-table with their season being split right down the middle in terms of results at home and on the road; three of their four wins to date have been at the Maracana.
On the flip-side, Fluminense have managed just one win on their travels to date which was a 2-1 win at 14th placed Vitoria, but defeats at Corinthians, Botafogo and Parana show their vulnerability away from home surroundings.
Indeed, Fluminense have registered just two away wins from their last 17 matches, which is a very poor record indeed, as well as this season’s record to date of 1-1-3 5/7.
