Fluminense vs Atletico MG Predictions

A competitive contest could see both teams scoring at a big price on Wednesday.

I'm taking a chance on BTTS at the Maracana.

Fluminense have seen BTTS in 10 of their last 12 matches (Copa Libertadores)
Fluminense have seen BTTS in their last 5 home matches (Copa Libertadores)
Fluminense have seen BTTS in 9 of their last 11 home matches against Atletico MG
Atletico MG have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 8 away matches

Head to Head

Fluminense and Atletico MG have met on 48 previous occasions since the turn of the century. Atletico MG claimed 19 wins, while Fluminese emerged triumphant in 13 contests.

Since 2015, 16 of 22 previous matches between these sides saw BTTS - that's a ratio above 70%.

Fluminense Form

Fluiminense continue the defence of their Copa Libertadores title after a disappointing 2-1 defeat at Juventude in Serie A action on Sunday. Two goals conceded in the final ten minutes condemned the Tricolor Flu Fluzão to a fourth defeat in five road games played since the start of August.

Mano Menezes's side are usually stronger at the Maracana, particularly in this competition. The Copa Libertadores holders are unbeaten in their last 14 continental home fixtures (W11, D3).

Despite that impressive record, Fluminense failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five home matches in the Copa Libertadores.

Fluminense Team News

Head coach Menezes is unable to call on a trio of injured players ahead of Wednesday's Copa Libertadores quarter-final first leg. Lelê, Diogo Barbosa and Ignácio all remain absent for the hosts.

In-form midfielder Jhon Arias is expected to feature. The Colombian has scored three goals in his last four appearances.

Atletico MG Form

Atletico MG make the trip to Rio following a disastrous 3-0 defeat at Bahia last weekend. Three goals conceded in the second period ensured a first away loss in five for El Galo.

Gabriel Milito's side have been in up-and-down form for much of the last few months. Wednesday's visitors won four, drew five and lost three of their last 12 games across all competitions.

On their travels, MG are a tough side to beat, though, especially in the Copa Libertadores. Atletico are unbeaten in 20 of their last 22 away matches in this competition (excluding shootouts).

Atletico MG Team News

MG boss Milito must cope without the services of four first-team players this week. Matías Zaracho, Alisson, Eduardo Vargas and Otávio are all tipped to miss out for the visitors.

The Argentine boss could make one or two alterations to his selection. Gustavo Scarpa and Deyverson are among those pushing for a recall to the first XI.

Verdict

Fluminense v Atletico Mineiro

Goals could be on the cards in Wednesday's Copa Libertadores quarter-final contest.

BTTS is my only choice at the Maracana.
