Our prediction for the Fluminense vs Atlético Mineiro match
The "Warriors" made history last season by winning their first-ever Copa Libertadores title, a feat that overshadowed their modest seventh-place finish in Série A. Atlético Mineiro, while not repeating their 2021 championship triumph, still secured a solid third-place finish.
Currently, Fluminense are underperforming. Following the dismissal of last season's title-winning coach, Fernando Diniz, Mano Menezes has helped the team climb out of the relegation zone. However, they recently suffered a loss to Juventude, despite leading until the 81st minute. The attack is faltering, with young Kauã Elias scoring five goals, while the rest of the team has only managed 16. Meanwhile, Hulk (who has scored seven times in Brasileirão) and his team have also slipped into mid-table, and suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat to Bahia. Nonetheless, Atlético Mineiro is still contending in the domestic cup, holding São Paulo to a 0-0 home draw after a 1-0 away win.
Both teams have been strong in the Copa Libertadores. Despite their domestic struggles, Fluminense earned 14 points in the group stage and knocked out Grêmio in the Round of 16 after a 2-1 victory each, advancing on penalties. Atlético Mineiro won five of their six group-stage games and narrowly advanced past San Lorenzo in the Round of 16, winning 1-0 at home after a 1-1 away draw.
