Atletico Mineiro are perhaps a step up in class on even those sides though. They may have made a rocky start to the season but right now you have to say they look very good indeed especially going forward. They scored 5 times in midweek against Botafogo with Fred, Robinho and Cazares causing plenty of havoc in the opposition defence and they look to have a strike-force capable of firing them into serious title contention. There are still a few problems at the other end as 3 goals conceded in midweek would indicate but you’d back them to outscore their opponents at the moment and they are looking for a 5th straight win here.
Given Figueirense have failed to score in all of their last 3 matches and only 1 team has scored fewer goals than them in the league so far, Atletico Mineiro aren’t likely to need to score that many goals to win this. They’ve only lost once on the road so far and they are not one of those teams that seems to lose the plot when they play away. The way they have been playing you have to fancy the visitors here against a Figueirense side that very nearly went down last year and is struggling again. Therefore consider backing Atletico Mineiro to win at 6/5.
