On July 2, Mineirão (Belo Horizonte) will host the match of the 13th round of the Brazilian Serie A, in which Atlético Mineiro will compete with America Mineiro. The battle will start at 21:00 CET.

Atlético Mineiro

The club achieved its best result in 50 years in 2021, winning the second league title – there had been the only set of golden medals of Brasileiro before, in 1971. Still, it was not able to stay on top – “the Galo” rolled back to the 7th position in the previous draw. And speaking about the current season, the ambitious team continued being in the fever, and, as a result, the most experienced Luiz Felipe Scolari headed the coaching position in the summer. Being under his rule, Hulk and the company took important results in the Copa Libertadores. At the same time, there were only a draw in the battle against Fluminense and a defeat made by Fortaleza in the Serie A. Both matches were, however, at the away arenas – so, will it be possible to add in the game by means of returning to the native field?

America Mineiro

The team has long had an unspoken, but unpleasant status of “football lift”. Moreover, it had to spend four years in a row in the third division of Brazil in 2005-2009. That period was followed by both the promotion to the Serie A and the relegation from there. Speaking about the return to the elite division in 2022, “the Rabbit” was able to demonstrate a bright result, closing the top 10 of the final standings. The higher mentioned achievements even allowed the representative of Belo Horizonte to play in the Copa Sudamericana, where, however, they showed mediocre performance. At the same time, there was a terrible start at the inner championship – it resulted in 4 defeats in a row and 1 point after 6 rounds. And only the end of May, which was spent at the home arena, brought the victories – those were the matches against Fortaleza and Corinthians, then they played a 2-2 draw in the confrontation with fellow countrymen, Atlético. Still, the next away game resulted in another defeat, 1-3, in the struggle with Gremio, which was followed by a 1-2 defeat made by Internacional on the native field.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Speaking about the current year, the neighbours played in the state championship. There was a draw in the regular season, but Atlético was stronger in the final twice – a 3-2 score at the away arena and a 2-0 result at the home one.

Predictions
