Our Prediction for Atlético Mineiro vs São Paulo
The "Roosters" finished in a strong third place last season, although they couldn’t replicate their previous title-winning success. The "Tricolor" had a rather underwhelming season, finishing 11th, though they did manage to win the national cup.
This season, Hulk and his teammates have struggled to reach the same heights. Even after finally winning for the first time in five rounds (3-2 away against Grêmio), the club has climbed back into the top half of the table, now sitting in ninth place. However, they’ve had success in the Copa Libertadores, advancing past the group stage and eliminating San Lorenzo in the first knockout round (1-1 in Argentina, 1-0 at home) with Fluminense awaiting them next. The "Tricolor" have shown improvement in Serie A, breaking into the top five, although they stumbled against Fluminense in the last round. However, that loss came after defeating Nacional in the Copa Libertadores playoffs—following a 0-0 draw in Uruguay, they won 2-0 at home.
The "Roosters" play an entertaining brand of football, scoring and conceding at almost the same rate (1.39/1.43). The "Tricolor" are stronger defensively, conceding around one goal per game, but they are more modest in attack, averaging 1.32 goals per match.
