Atletico MG vs Avai Prediction & Betting Tips - Brasileirão Serie A

Prediction published on 28/05/2022, 11:35  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

Atletico Mineiro will be at home to newly promoted Avai on Match Day 8 of the Brazilian Serie A. Going into this game, Atletico Mineiro have 12 points, in fourth place while Avai head into this game placed 10th with 10 points. Atlético Mineiro have done well in the Copa Libertadores and will be looking to extend this run at home. They go into this game having lost at home to Deportes Tolima in the Copa Libertadores in their last game. This was their first loss in five matches and one quality they carry to this game is a great scoring run. Atletico Mineiro have scored in each of their last 25 matches. In four home matches in the league this season, Atletico Mineiro have scored twice in three matches and kept two clean sheets.

Avai are coming from two straight losses and just one clean sheet in their last five matches; not a very prolific defensive run going into such a game. In three of their last five matches, they’ve conceded twice, while they’ve scored more than a goal in just two of their last five matches. They are returning to the league for the first time since 2019 and in their last meeting with Atletico Mineiro back then, Avai won 1-0. That remains their only win in 15 meetings with Atletico Mineiro. Their away run is another thing that will worry them; Avai have no win so far in three away league games and they have failed to score in two. This stretches their winless away run in the league to 12 matches, going back to 2019.
