Atlético-MG vs Atlético Goianiense prediction: The Miners are the favorites

A last-minute 2-1 win at Internacional could have started a positive cycle for Atlético Mineiro after three games without a victory. The 4-0 defeat at home to Palmeiras in Round 9 was hard to digest, and injuries and suspensions have also piled up in recent weeks.

The Rooster traveled to Criciúma to face Inter and showed why it is one of the best teams on the road. In six away games, the Miners have won three, drawn two, and lost just one. Facing a team that had only conceded five goals in nine matches, Atlético succeeded in creating space in the Gaúchos' strong defense and scored twice. The winning goal came in the 97th minute when the home side looked to defend the draw. Hulk made an individual run down the right flank and crossed for Rômulo, who scored with a diving header. The next opponent is Atlético Goianiense, and the Rooster fans are hoping to see their team finally win at home. If the away results have been good, the performance at the Arena MRV has been disappointing. Atlético-MG has only won one game at its stadium in the Brasileirão two months ago against rival Cruzeiro. The Miners are in 10th place with 17 points and need to win to get closer to the leading pack.

The Dragon drew at home against Grêmio and let victory slip away with a goal conceded near the end. The Goianos had a solid first half with several chances to score but were ineffective. The second half was more even, but in the 72nd minute, on a set piece, Luis Felipe finally scored for the home side, and it seemed the game was over. However, following a corner kick, Grêmio scored through Reinaldo with a left-footed strike ten minutes later. The Atlético players were waiting for the cross, but the Gaúchos surprised them with a short corner. The Dragon is in a relegation position with ten points and will now head to Belo Horizonte to try to pick up a point.

Atlético-MG hasn't done well at home, but it's about time to give its loyal fans a win. Atlético Goianiense has been a consistent team away from home. In their six games on the road, the Goianos have only lost twice and conceded just five goals, but the Miners are motivated by their away victory against Internacional and should win the game. I'm placing my bets on Atlético-MG to triumph.
