Prediction

  • After suffering defeat on the opening day to Fortaleza, Atletico Mineiro earned revenge on Sunday with a 2-0 victory of their own in the Northeast of Brazil. Atletico backed this up Wednesday as their 1-0 victory over Fluminense earned them a place in the Copa do Brazil semi-finals. Galo are now nine matches unbeaten in all competitions and will be hoping to extend that run further here.
  • It's the polar opposite for Sport Recife who are without a win or goal in six matches. Last time out, they suffered a 1-0 home loss to Internacional and will be eager to get back on the right track here. Sport currently sit in the relegation zone and are five points away from safety.
