Atletico Mineiro are on a good run, which they hope to keep going when they travel to Fortaleza to take on Ceara on Match Day 6 of the Brazilian Serie A. Hosts Ceara have five points ahead of this game, and are placed 12th while Atletico Mineiro are fifth with 10 points. The possibility of rising four places should bear good motivation for Ceara and they are also hoping they can bring to an end a run of four winless matches against Atletico Mineiro. A major hindrance will be their recent run though, having failed to register a win in their last six matches, across all competitions. After their 3-2 win over Gremio at the start of the season, Ceara have not won any other game and in the seven matches played, they have one clean sheet only. In Serie A action, they have no win in the last four but have scored in three of the four matches. Three of their five league matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

Atletico Mineiro on their part, are on a six-match unbeaten run across all competitions and they know a win here could propel them to the top of the standings. They started the season on a losing note, falling 2-1 to Fortaleza but it has been upward since then. In the six matches coming after that loss, they’ve won five and drawn one while keeping clean sheets in three of the last five. The four wins they’ve registered in the last five matches have all been by one-goal margins and they’ve scored more than one goal in just one of the five matches. Five of their last six matches have ended in under 2.5 goals.
