Atlético-MG vs São Paulo Prediction: São Paulo has won four consecutive games

Atlético-MG isn't experiencing a good moment and now faces a very confident opponent. The Miners are having a disappointing campaign in the league and are currently in 12th place. São Paulo is on a streak of four straight victories and will go to Belo Horizonte to win again.

The Rooster traveled to Rio de Janeiro to face Botafogo and make amends for the heavy defeat at home to Flamengo. Things didn't go well again, and Atlético lost 3-0. Botafogo started the game well, with a great goal from Luiz Henrique in the 13th minute. Igor Rabello received a red card ten minutes later and left Atlético with ten players. The Miners fought hard and got a great chance to score, with Hulk's fabulous free-kick hitting the crossbar. In the 79th minute, Botafogo made it 2-0, and the game was over. The team started the season well but unexpectedly went downhill. Incredibly, the Rooster hasn't won at home since April 20th. Atlético Mineiro needs a win at home, but São Paulo is a tough nut to crack.

The Tricolor Paulista is still going strong and won 2-0 at home to Bragantino. The goals only came in the second half after the first half without any great highlights. São Paulo showed again that it is a focused team with its eyes on victory. Even without playing a great game, the Paulistas were patient and always believed that the goals would come. Zubeldía's side is in fourth place with the same points as Bahia and looks to be in the hunt for the title, with leader Flamengo just four points ahead.

Atlético Mineiro hasn't won at home for a long time, but it has players who can decide a game at any moment. São Paulo has won its last four games, so the players' confidence is high. In their previous match on the road, the Paulistas won at Athletico Paranaense, where it's not easy to win. Considering the teams' form alone, São Paulo has a better chance of winning, but the home team doesn't want to disappoint its fans again. I'm leaning towards a draw and will take my chances on a correct score of 1-1. As a conservative bet, a game with both teams scoring could be a good option.
