2.19Tip and bets
Fluminense looks more than worthy in home matches and today, without a doubt, will strive only for victory - with any other result in Belo Horizonte there will be nothing to do. Atletico Mineiro is vulnerable in defense and regularly misses, but at the same time the "roosters" will certainly be maximally motivated and aggressive in attack, they are quite capable of responding with one goal.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.15
Bet on the outcome
Fluminense is the favorite of the match – the Tricolors are traditionally very strong on their home field and make almost no mistakes. Atletico Mineiro is unstable and regularly suffers setbacks in away matches, and they have failed to win in the last three matches against the Tricolors at the Maracana. It makes sense to give preference to the hosts in such a match.
