Atlético Goianiense vs Atlético Mineiro Prediction: The Goianos are doomed

This game shouldn't change the fate of Atlético Goianiense, who will most likely play in the Série B next year. The Goianos occupy last place and are 13 points from 16th place, the first position outside the relegation zone. If they win all seven rounds remaining in the Brasileirão, they could have a chance of salvation, but that's a highly implausible scenario.

Atlético Goianiense

At the Arena do Grêmio, the Dragon opened the scoring in the 28th minute through Derek, but the Gaúchos equalized in the 40th minute thanks to Soteldo. In the second half, Grêmio was superior and scored two more goals. It's almost impossible to get out of last place, and the Atlético Goianiense players know it. Louzer's side has the fewest goals scored in the league, and the defense is also very fragile. The Goianos have shown dignity in every game and will try to get a good result against Atlético Mineiro, even though they will still be bottom.

Atlético Mineiro

The Rooster lost 3-1 away to Flamengo in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil semi-final, complicating its chances of lifting the trophy. Atlético Mineiro needs a perfect display in the second leg next weekend. This game with Atlético Goianiense is certainly not a priority for the club, with a final to play a few days later. With the Flamengo game in mind, coach Gabriel Milito will probably not use his best players in Goiânia. The Miners are also in the final of the Copa Libertadores, where they will face Botafogo, and could win two titles this season.

Expert Betting Tips

The Miners will be playing in the final of the Copa do Brasil next weekend, and they won't be at full strength against the last-placed team. Atlético Goianiense is virtually doomed to relegation but will try to get a good result and honor its jersey. It's hard to predict who will win as Gabriel Milito will give his best players a rest. I'm betting on a double chance for the visitors, although they shouldn't underestimate Atlético Goianiense.
