Vitória vs Atlético-MG Prediction: The Miners suffered a tough setback

The match with Palmeiras was a nightmare for the Miners, who were humiliated at home with a 4-0 defeat and lost Hulk and Paulinho, the team's stars, for the meeting with Vitória. The controversial refereeing, much criticized by Atlético, was the game's highlight. The Rooster started the Brasileirão very well, delighting with its attacking style, but is currently in ninth place.

The Barra's Lion finally won a game but is still in the last place, with the same points as Fluminense, Gremio, and Criciúma. After giving everything they had during the match against Internacional, the Baianos were rewarded in the final seconds. The home team scored early, after 8 minutes, through Willian Oliveira and went into the break leading 1-0. In the second half, Vitória stayed defensive, and the Gaúchos took control of the match. The visitors equalized the score in the 82nd minute, freezing the Barradão stands. However, a miracle occurred, with the VAR detecting a foul by Alario inside the area after a corner kick. Defender and captain Wagner Leonardo converted the penalty, and Vitória won 2-1. The Baianos play again at home, now against Atlético Mineiro, and are more confident of getting a good result.

Atlético fans expected a tricky game against Palmeiras but couldn't imagine losing 4-0 at the Arena MRV. The visitors took full advantage of the absences in the Rooster's line-up, especially in defense, to score in the 25th minute. A few minutes later, Hulk protested with the referee, who showed him two yellow cards in seconds. The incident completely unbalanced the game. The Miners, playing with ten men, couldn't avoid Palmeiras to score three more goals in the second half. After the final whistle, Paulinho kicked Marcos Rocha and received a red card, missing the next game with Vitória. The Rooster needs a good result in Salvador but will have to do it without its best strikers

The Atlético's line-up will be considerably weakened in this game, especially in attack, as Hulk and Paulinho saw a red card against Palmeiras. Under normal circumstances, the Miners would be the favorites, but without Atlético's stars, the strength of both teams is more balanced. Vitória picked up its first league win against Internacional and is in good spirits. I'm betting on a draw in a match that any team can win.
