Wednesday night brings us midweek action from the Brazilian top flight with CSA taking on Atletico Mineiro as the betting tips continue at the Estádio Rei Pelé.
CSA Prediction – Can CSA rely on home form?
Despite losing last time out in the Brazilian Serie A with a 1-0 loss away from home at Goias, CSA will be reasonably be confident ahead of this upcoming Wednesday night clash against Atletico MG as they return to home turf to their Estádio Rei Pelé.
The loss at Goias has dumped CSA back down into the bottom four of Serie A and the relegation zone, but although CSA’s results away from home have been abominable (winning just 1 of their 12 matches on their travels to date), results at home have certainly picked up for Wednesday night’s hosts.
4 wins on the trot for CSA has kept them in touch with the teams above them following victories against Chapecoense, Ceara, Avai and Internacional amidst an overall home record of 5-4-4 11/13 to date on home turf.
Having managed just 1 win out of their first 9 matches at home, CSA are certainly making a better fist of things and their recent winning momentum should give them plenty of confidence in getting something out of tonight’s clash against Atletico MG.
Atletico MG Prediction – Can Atletico MG break recent poor run?
The visitors make their way over to Alagoas on the back of a poor 4-match sequence without a win in the Brazilian top flight as Atletico MG have fallen to 3 defeats from these last 4 matches with defeats suffered against Vasco da Gama, Flamengo and Gremio – the latter being a heavy 4-1 loss on home turf at their Estádio Raimundo Sampaio last time out.
That latest defeat at home won’t have done Atletico MG’s confidence much good as they travel to an in-form CSA outfit, as the visitors look to hang onto their top 12 position in the Brazilian top flight and qualification for the Sudamericana that goes along with it.
6 of Atletico MG’s 9 league wins to date though have been achieved in Belo Horizonte, while away from home, the visitors have lost 5 of their last 6 matches on their travels amidst an overall away record that stands at an average looking 3-2-7 10/16.
In addition to failing to score in 5 of these 12 away matches to date is just the 1 clean sheet that Atletico MG have kept so far on the road, so they could be in for another tough test at CSA on Wednesday night.
Key-Facts – CSA v Atletico MG
- CSA have won their last 4 home matches on the trot in Serie A
- CSA have lost just 1 of their last 7 matches at home in Serie A
- Atletico MG have lost 5 of their last 6 away matches
Betting Tips Verdict
CSA bring a winning momentum into this clash and with home advantage, the hosts should grab at least a point here.
