Atletico Mineiro will be looking to rise from their slump when they host Flamengo in their next Serie A assignment. Heading into this game the hosts are 13th on 21 points while Flamengo are third with 28 points. Atletico Mineiro haven't been doing well lately. Heading into this game, they failed to win in the last eight matches. In the last three, they’ve failed to score a single goal. The hosts’ most recent match was a 1-0 away loss at Gremio. That was their second defeat in three matches, and they’ve managed just three goals in the last five matches.

At the same time, they have scored more than a goal in just one of their last nine league matches.

Atletico Mineiro’s discipline will be in focus too, after they had two players sent off in the last four games.

Flamengo’s run of form is completely different though they haven't won a lot in recent games. Two wins in their last five matches place them on a much better run of form than Atletico Mineiro. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-0 win over Gremio in the Brazilian Cup. Looking at it in the long run is even better for Flamengo – they are unbeaten in nine games, winning six. The visitors haven't lost since their 4-0 thrashing by Bragantino in June. In their last five matches, Flamengo haven't been scoring a lot. In only two of their last five matches have they managed more than a goal. Each of their last five matches has returned under 2.5 goals.
