Atletico Mineiro vs Sao Paulo Predictions

An entertaining Serie A contest should be on the cards at Arena MRV.

Recent stats suggest BTTS could prove the best bet on Thursday, while I also fancy Sao Paulo to maintain their winning form.

Atletico Mineiro have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 6 matches
Atletico Mineiro have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 5 home matches
Atletico Mineiro lost 4 of their last 7 matches
Atletico Mineiro have seen BTTS in 2 of their last 3 matches against Sao Paulo
Sao Paulo have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 5 matches
Sao Paulo have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 7 away matches
Sao Paulo won their last 4 matches

Head to Head

Atletico Mineiro and Sao Paulo have faced each other on 49 previous occasions since 2000. Atletico hold a narrow 19-18 H2H advantage after scoring a 2-1 win in their most recent encounter last December.

Atletico Mineiro Form

Atletico Mineiro's poor run of form continued earlier this week with a comprehensive 3-0 defeat against in-form Botafogo. Igor Rabello's early red card proved decisive as the Galo Alvinegro suffered their fourth Serie A defeat in less than a month.

Out-of-form at the Arena MRV, Atletico are without a win in any of their last five games on home soil.

Gabriel Milito's side have picked up just five points from their last seven Serie A matches, and now sit 12th in the division, nine points behind Sao Paulo.

Atletico Mineiro Team News

Head coach Milito has a lengthy list of absentees coming into Thursday's Serie A contest.

Mariano, Matias Zaracho, Everson, Renzo Saravia, Rubens and Daniel Penha are among eight expected absentees for the hosts.

Sao Paulo Form

Sao Paulo make the trip to Minas Gerais in excellent form with last week ́s 2-0 win against RB Bragantino extending their winning run to four matches. Second-half goals from André Silva and Luciano secured another victory for the Tricolor Paulista.

Impressive in attack, Luis Zubeldía's side scored at least two goals in all four of their recent wins. However, they have failed to keep clean sheets in six of their last seven league contests.

The Tricolor Paulista are unbeaten in 11 of their last 13 Serie A matches, including five of their last six away fixtures.

Sao Paulo Team News

Sao Paulo boss Zubeldia reported no further injury issues after Sao Paulo's fine win against RB Bragantino.

Michel Araújo, João Moreira and Pablo Maia remain long-term absentees, while James Rodriguez is on international duty at the Copa America.

Verdict

Atletico Mineiro v Sao Paulo

Goals are expected in Thursday's Serie A contest.

BTTS is my top tip, with Sao Paulo also backed to claim a fifth successive league victory.

BTTS - Yes
