A Brazilian matchup in the Copa Libertadores quarter-final sees defending champions Fluminense facing off against Atletico Mineiro for this first leg fixture. Let’s break down the key statistics for this match between the Tricolor and Galo.
Fluminense are attempting to become only the second team in the past 20 years to defend their Libertadores crown (Palmeiras in 2020, 2021). The holders prevailed on penalties against Gremio in the round of 16 following a 3-3 aggregate scoreline.
It’s been a tough year for the Tricolor in the domestic league, where they currently sit just one spot above the relegation zone with a third of the season remaining. However, all will be forgiven if they can lift the Copa Libertadores crown for the second time in their club’s history.
Last time taking to the pitch saw Fluminense blow a one-goal lead late in the game. They conceded twice in the final 10 minutes of play to fall to a 2-1 away defeat to Juventude in the Brazilian Serie A, snapping a three-game winning streak.
Their opponents have had similar domestic struggles as Atletico Mineiro sit 10th in the Brazilian Serie A. The visitors are one-time champions in this competition (2013) and have now made it to at least the quarter-final in four of the last six seasons.
Atletico Mineiro posted a stellar five wins from six in the group stage which saw them matched up with San Lorenzo in the round of 16. A 1-0 home victory in the second leg saw Galo edge their Argentine opponents 2-1 on aggregate.
Atletico MG come into this matchup off the back of a heavy 3-0 away defeat to Bahia on the weekend.

Our Fluminense vs Atletico MG Prediction
This should be a tight game beween two opponents who knew each other well. With this being the first leg, we don't expect either side to be too gung-ho; Fluminense certainly won't want to have to overturn a deficit in Belo Horizonte, while Atletico Mineiro would be content in escaping Rio with a draw.
Therefore, we believe this has all the makings of a low-scoring match. Fluminense have been stingy when playing at the Maracaná and the majority of the recent head-to-head results between these two have only seen a goal or two. Our Fluminense vs Atletico Mineiro prediction: under 2.5 goals.
