Série A Betting Preview: Atlético Mineiro vs Botafogo

Atlético Mineiro take on Botafogo, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Sunday 10 May.

The betting sites might have been too generous with their odds of -133 when it comes to the BTTS Yes selection. We can’t see any reason why Atlético Mineiro and Botafogo won’t find the net.

Atlético Mineiro triumphed in their last Série A game. It was on their travels where Cruzeiro were beaten 3-1. Galo ended up with just 31% possession and had four shots on target, with Alan Minda, Maycon Barberan and Mateo Cassierra scoring one goal apiece.

On Tuesday night, Atlético played out a 2-2 draw when facing Juventud de las Piedras away in the Copa Sudamericana.

Botafogo have achieved back-to-back Série A road wins. They were turned over by Remo in their previous league game, losing 2-1 at home. Franclim Carvalho's men had the lion’s share of the ball boasting 58% possession and five shots on goal, with Nahuel Ferraresi finding the net.

Four days ago, Botafogo claimed a 2-1 victory in the Copa Sudamericana when hosting Racing Club.

Head-to-Head Statistics
