Clube Atletico Mineiro vs Bragantino tips and predictions

Outcome not obvious in Serie A battle; draw possible

There's not much between Clube Atletico Mineiro and Bragantino in the Serie A. The hosts are in tenth place with 33 points, compared to their opponents who are in 12th place on 31 points.

There are arguments to be made for both sides in this clash so be careful when picking a winner.

This fixture has been tricky to analyse with confidence but given the hosts' recent defensive record on their own soil, the draw is the recommendation. Looking solid at home Clube Atletico Mineiro have conceded at an average of just 0.6 goals per game over their last 7 matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head, 5 of the last 8 have been draws.

It would be incorrect to suggest that the favourites are a dead-cert here. Don't be surprised if the two sides cancel each other out over an attritional ninety minutes. It's not standout value but the No BTTS bet seems fair enough. As far as the goal line is concerned, it's no more than one goal picked as the best play after weighing up the chances of all outcomes.

Clube Atletico Mineiro have drawn 7 of their last 20 matches on their own soil, including their most recent match when they drew 0-0 with Sao Paulo at home last week. Bragantino have drawn 8 of their last 19 away games. They drew with Gremio last week. It's not a very exciting prediction and it feels like a match to be on your guard about. A deadlock awaits after what looks set to be a close encounter.
