My Prediction
Fluminense by 1What an enticing clash we have between Atlético Mineiro and Fluminense. In between the goalposts, Atlético Mineiro's Everson has racked up 16 saves with a 7.22 rating, slightly edging out Fluminense's Fábio, who's notched 14 saves with a 7.00 rating. Ah, the old guard versus the young upstart.
For the crease, Atlético Mineiro is led by their powerhouse Hulk with a rating of 7.42, 1 goal, and a salvo of 7 shots on goal. Rubens and Tomás Cuello also show promise with ratings of 7.54 and 7.36, respectively. It's clear that those extra feet and inches are lending an advantage here in terms of goal potential.
Don't let the dull hues of gray fool you, Fluminense also boasts a charismatic list of top players. Jhon Arias can boast a hefty 7.78 rating, and a goal to his name. Gabriel Fuentes and Renê add depth to Fluminense's color palette, having ratings of 7.60 and 7.57.
Peeping into the past, the two sides have seen mixed results, sharing the spoils twice, while each team has one win to their name too - a regular seesaw of results.
Looking at the regular season records, Fluminense's 4-1-2 record decimates the shaky Atlético Mineiro's 2-3-2. However, the recent form is a mixed bag of goods for both sides although, Fluminense seems to have a mild upper hand winning 3 of their last 5 games, one of them being a draw, while Atlético Mineiro has registered 2 wins, 2 draws and a loss.
By the looks of it, and the abstract art that is, football statistics, the gazes of favor slightly favor the team with longer name - Fluminense.
