Chapecoense are going along pretty solidly too though. They come into this one unbeaten in 6 games in all competitions, although 5 of the 6 have been draws and that’s why they aren’t any higher than their current 10th place. It has been a decent start from new coach Caio Júnior, whose side held early season leaders Palmeiras to a 1-1 draw on Thursday night.
You sense though, that they will be up against it more here. Palmeiras are a side who have just lost some momentum and have lost their best player. Whereas, Atletico Mineiro seem to be growing as a team with each passing week and look really dangerous in the final third. They’ve won all of their last 5 home games and there have been over 2.5 goals in all of those matches. They aren’t the best defensive team in the league by any means but up against a Chape side, who have the 2nd worst defensive record, you’d back Palmeiras to outscore their opponents.
The home team tends to win when these sides meet. Atletico MG have won their last 3 home games against Chape and have netted 10 goals in these games.
There have been over 2.5 goals in 78% of Atletico MG home games (3.44 goals per game on average) and 78% of Chape away games (3.56 goals per game on average).
Leandro Donizete, who netted the crucial winner at Palmeiras a fortnight ago, returns from suspension and should start in midfield.
Few changes expected from the side that played Palmeiras. Martinuccio is still out. Watch Live stream free Click Here | Link 2#
