Our Prediction for Santos vs Atletico Mineiro
The most popular team from "Vila Belmiro" slid to the point that in 2023, it lost its spot in Brazil's top division. But, to their credit, they managed to pull together and won Serie B last season. Their guests from Belo Horizonte collected 42 points in 2024. With tie-breakers, they finished twelfth in the Brasileirao that year.
This year, Cuca's charges already managed to become state champions again, confidently defeating America Mineiro in the final. There were no problems in the cup either, but in the Copa Sudamericana, the Brazilians started with a goalless draw against Cienciano. However, they then thrashed Iquique. In the opening Serie A rounds, they first lost to Gremio, then settled for a goalless home draw against Sao Paulo, and drew 2-2 with Vitoria in the last round.
Neymar, having returned to his boyhood club, has yet to bring them success. The state championship campaign ended in the semi-finals with a 1-2 loss to Corinthians. Their return to Serie A began with an away defeat to Vasco da Gama. Then, at home against Bahia, they let the win slip in the 90th minute—ending 2-2. And against Fluminense, they failed to respond to their opponent's only goal.
