Corinthians vs Atlético Mineiro - 14/11/2020
2120
Despite the ongoing international fixtures this week, we have a full calendar of Brazilian Serie A games to enjoy. One of which takes place on the 14th of November at the Arena Corinthians as Corinthians meet Atlético Mineiro.
The hosts come into the game in 10th place on 25 points while the visitors are in second place on 35 points.
Corinthians are looking to get back to winning ways having been held to a 1-1 draw at Atlético GO last weekend. It was always going to be a close game between two teams within 2 points of each other in the table. Atlético GO took the lead just before half time but it did not take long for Corinthians to find the equaliser in the second half.
That result means Corinthians have won only one of their last 4 games in all competitions. Prior to that match, Corinthians played America Mineiro in the Copa do Brasil Round of 16 and the match finished 1-1. America Mineiro went through to the quarterfinal having won the first leg 1-0.
Trends show Corinthians have been difficult to beat in recent Serie A games and are undefeated in 4 of their last 5. They have proven difficult to beat at home with only 4 defeats in their last 28 league fixtures at the Arena Corinthians. Both teams have scored in 7 of their last 10 home matches in Serie A.
Atlético Mineiro recorded an impressive 4-0 home win over Flamengo last weekend. They took the lead after only 4 minutes and double their advantage in the 8th minute. A third goal in the 59th minute put an end to Flamengo’s changes of getting back into the match and Atlético Mineiro added a fourth goal towards the end of the game.
It was a good victory against a team who was above Atlético Mineiro before kick off and the win allowed Atlético Mineiro to move into second place. However, it was their first victory in 5 attempts in Serie A. Atlético Mineiro had been struggling to win games and had picked up only 2 points from a possible 12 available prior to the win over Flamengo.
Trends show Atlético Mineiro have won just 3 of their last 20 away matches in Serie A. They have suffered 3 consecutive away defeats and have seen over 2.5 goals in 10 of their last 12 Serie A games.
Team news and Corinthians will be without the injured duo of Danilo Avelar and Ruan Oliveira. Léo Santos and Carlos Augusto are doubts.
Atlético Mineiro travel without Gustavo Blanco who has a thigh injury. Diego Tardelli is a doubt due to an ankle problem. Neither team have international call ups to the Brazilian squad.
This should be a closely fought match, with both teams finding the back of the net. However, Atlético Mineiro’s poor away form could continue as Corinthians take maximum points and move closer to the top six.
