Atlético-MG vs Vasco da Gama Prediction: Vasco has won its last four games

The Cariocas are in the best phase of the season and have made an incredible recovery in the table, now sitting in ninth place in the standings. Vasco hasn't lost in five matches and is on a run of four straight victories. It will not be easy for the Giant to maintain the unbeaten run as Atlético Mineiro is a strong team, but confidence is high.

The Rooster failed to beat Juventude in a match played in Brasilia. Atlético played as a guest but seemed to be playing at home, as the Belo Horizonte club's fans were in greater force. Juventude conceded possession to the Miners in an attempt to exploit the counter-attack. Atlético-MG missed several clear chances to score and let a victory that was within reach slip away. Milito's team is in 11th place with 22 points and one game in hand. The Argentine coach is starting to feel some pressure to get results. Atlético Mineiro has struggled with players out injured and others playing in the Copa América, but the fans now expect a performance improvement.

Philippe Coutinho is still recovering his fitness after two months out of action and is unlikely to make his Vasco debut against Atlético Mineiro. The fans look forward to that moment, but they'll have to wait a little longer. The team has been strong and put in a great display in Goiânia against Atlético Goianiense. The Cariocas won 1-0 but could have won by a wider margin. Vegetti missed a penalty, and the VAR disallowed a Vasco goal. The Giant is confident of a good result at the Arena MRV.

Atlético-MG has been underachieving in the league, with some disappointing performances, especially at home. In the last month, the team struggled with injuries and the absence of players who participated in the Copa America. The outlook is now more favorable, and the team will probably improve. However, the next opponent is in great shape. Vasco has won four straight games and is high on confidence. A draw is perhaps the most likely outcome, but I'll bet on a Double Chance in favor of Atlético Mineiro with a maximum of three goals scored.
