Struggling Atletico Mineiro will be out to rediscover their form when they welcome Sao Paulo for their next Serie A match. Placed 12th, Atletico will be eyeing a crucial scalp here, as they take on fourth placed Sao Paulo. Here we take a look at the stats and offer a prediction for this match.

Atletico Mineiro finished a solid third last season, just four points behind the league winners. This season has however been a tough one, and they come here winless in their last three matches. The last two were defeats; the most recent a 3-0 reverse at high-flying Botafogo.

With just a win in their last seven matches, Atletico’s confidence has been dropping by the game. four times in that run of seven matches, they conceded three or more goals. They will be happy with theirb attack though, having failed to score in just two of their last 10 matches.

Sao Paulo will never find a better chance to end their poor run against Atletico Mineiro. They come here winless in the last six meetings with Atletico, losing thrice and failing to score in four. However, in their recent matches, they’ve picked good form, and come here on straight wins in their last four outings.

Right ahead of this game, Sao Paulo sank ninth placed Bragantino 2-0. That happens to be their only clean sheet in the last seven matches. It means even with their superior run of form, Sao Paulo will still be concerned about their performance at the back.

However, having scored two or more in each of their last four games should ignite their fire. In 16 matches, Sao Paulo failed to score in only three. A 4-1 loss to Vasco da Gama in June stands as their only away loss in the last nine away games.
