Atletico Mineiro and Flamengo in low-scoring cup clash
Atlético Mineiro vs Flamengo RJ - 23/06/2022
3428
Wednesday evening also brings us action from the Brazilian Copa do Brasil and a clash between Atletico Mineiro and Flamengo in a repeat of their previous clash in the Brazilian Serie A, which Atletico Mineiro came out on top with a 2-0 win on home soil at their Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto.
Although Atletico Mineiro won last time out against their upcoming opponents in the league, the cup represents a whole new ball game and the form book tends to get thrown out of the proverbial window on such occasions.
Overall form in all competitions therefore needs to be taken into account and Atletico Mineiro have actually picked up just the one win from their last five matches which was the aforementioned 2-0 victory over Flamengo.
But the hosts have also been held to three draws and suffered a 5-3 loss away at Fluminense as well.
Results on home soil though have been much more steady as Atletico Mineiro have lost just two of their 19 home games to date this season.
But goals could be in short supply as four of Atletico MG’s seven league games at home have resulted in under 2.5 goals.
Flamengo will be eager to produce a better showing this time around at the Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto for this Copa do Brasil clash against Atletico Mineiro where the visitors have a chance to avenge their previous defeat immediately.
However, the prospects of a Flamengo win on Wednesday do appear to be slim as the visitors have now lost four of their last five games in all competitions (which were actually all in Serie A), losing to Fortaleza, Bragantino, Internacional and Atletico Mineiro.
Flamengo’s singular success during this recent period came in the form of a 2-0 home win against Cuiaba.
But having lost their last three away games on the trot, the odds are seemingly stacked against Flamengo from avenging their previous defeat.
Both Atletico Mineiro and Flamengo joined this season’s cup competition in the 3rd round where they recorded wins against Brasiliense and Altos in 4-0 and 4-1 aggregate wins respectively.
Two out of the last three meetings have seen under 3 goals scored and another tight battle between these two clubs is expected in this cup clash on Wednesday night too.
