Atletico Mineiro lost the first match, but a narrow defeat still leaves room for hope. Playing at home, the Roosters can not only level the score but also secure their spot in the semifinals during regular time – Fluminense has lost four of their last five away games, and the Three Colors usually only find success in Belo Horizonte on special occasions.
We believe the visitors have no chance. Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Atletico Mineiro. This wager is offered at odds of 2.59.

Atletico Mineiro needs to come back strong, and from the first minute, they will likely be aggressive offensively.
