Game Prediction

Our prediction for the match Atlético Mineiro vs Botafogo
“The Roosters” improved last season. Unlike in 2021, they didn’t manage to win the championship, but still finished high, overtaking Flamengo on additional criteria and securing third place. “The Lone Star” led for a long time but collapsed at the end, finishing below Hulk and his team in fifth place.
Both clubs represented Brazil with distinction in the Copa Libertadores. “The Roosters” won five times in the group stage and then eliminated San Lorenzo, Fluminense, and River Plate in the knockout rounds. The current visitors had some trouble getting out of their group (starting with two losses), but in the knockout stages, they eliminated Palmeiras, São Paulo, and Peñarol. So, this match will be a rehearsal for the final, set for November 30!
However, in the league, Gabi Milito's men have been underperforming, especially in the fall – they’ve won only three of their last fourteen matches. They had a chance to redeem themselves in the cup, but Flamengo won both final matches. In the most recent round, they were defeated by Atlético Paranaense. The “Black and Whites” are full of confidence in Serie A, though, as they remain undefeated in eleven rounds, with seven wins. This has allowed them to lead the table by four points.
