A Clash of Two Uneven Giants
Key Stats
– America MG have scored in seven consecutive games despite their current league struggles.
– Atletico Mineiro have held a dominant position in the historical head-to-head, maintaining an undefeated streak in their last four encounters.
The Estadio Mineirão in Belo Horizonte, a legendary football venue, is all set to host an electrifying local derby between Atletico Mineiro and America MG. Though historically both teams have given audiences some of the most memorable matches, this season paints a different picture, setting the stage for an interesting encounter.
Current Form: Atletico Mineiro & America MG
Atletico Mineiro, the home team, have maintained an impressive streak at the Mineirão, remaining undefeated in their last seven home matches with a commendable record of five victories and two draws. However, a recent loss against Fortaleza (2-1), their first setback in eight league games, might have dented their confidence slightly.

In contrast, America MG have suffered a harsh start to the season with eight losses from their first 12 games, placing them 19th in the league table. Struggling with form, they recently incurred a 2-1 home loss to Internacional. Nonetheless, they’ve managed to maintain an offensive front, scoring in their last seven games consecutively.
Despite their current predicament, both teams have secured their spots in the knockout stage of their respective continental tournaments. Atletico Mineiro finished second in Group G of the Copa Libertadores, and America MG, despite their league struggles, made it to second place in Group F of the Copa Sudamericana.
The Head-to-Head and Key Figures
Historically, these two rivals have gone head-to-head 430 times since their first meeting in 1913. Atletico Mineiro holds the upper hand with 209 wins compared to America MG’s 116. They have also maintained an undefeated streak in their last four encounters, suffering just one defeat since 2011.
America MG’s defences have appeared porous this season, allowing at least two goals in 10 of their last 12 Brazilian Serie A games. With the worst defensive record in the competition (27 goals conceded in 12 games), America MG will be up against Atletico Mineiro, a team that has scored 16 goals in 12 matches.
While America MG have struggled defensively, they’ve shown consistency in offence, managing to score in seven of their last nine away games. This offensive prowess is something they’d look to continue at Mineirão, despite their vulnerable defence.
Atletico, on the other hand, have demonstrated a stable defence with clean sheets in three of their last six home games in all competitions. The home team, however, haven’t been impervious to goals, having conceded in each of their last three home matches.
Predictions: Atletico Mineiro for the Win
Taking all these factors into account, it seems reasonable to predict that Atletico Mineiro is poised for a victory in this encounter. They boast a robust home record and have shown superior performance in recent matches. However, given America MG’s consistent scoring in their games, a ‘Both Teams to Score’ situation appears likely.
But the difference in strength is noticeable, and so our primary prediction leans towards a 3-1 victory for Atletico Mineiro in teh correct score market. The home team has netted exactly twice in seven of their last ten games. Given America MG’s shaky defence, it’s plausible for Atletico to score an extra goal this time.
