Juventude vs Atletico MG prediction 16.07.2024

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: 16th July 2024
• Kickoff: 23:00 UTC +1
• Venue: Arena BRB Mané Garrincha

Two sides separated by just two points in the Brazilian top flight go head to head on Tuesday night as Juventude play host to Atletico Mineiro.

The hosts have had plenty to celebrate since their last league home game which was a 3-0 win against Gremio over a week ago. Roger Machado Marques’ side beat Internacional 3-2 on aggregate to book a place in the fourth round of Copa do Brasil for the first time since 2020.

Atletico Mineiro’s return to the Brazilian top flight this season has been one with ups and downs. Gabriel Milito's men have managed just 21 points from their 15 games so far this season, but they will take encouragement from the fact that more than half of those points came away from home.

Juventude vs Atletico MG Betting Tips: Both teams to score

Scoring goals is something Juventude have not struggled with lately. Indeed, the Green and Whites scored averagely two goals a game in their last three Serie A outings. Their goal scoring record at home is also good, with the team boasting at least one goal from each of their last eight games at the Arena BRB.

Mineiro have also been a threat going forward this season. The visitors have found the back of the net in all but one of their last seven league games, and bets on ‘’btts – yes’’ were won in as many games.

There were also plenty of goals in the recent meetings between Juventude and Atletico MG at this venue. Both teams scored in each of the last two, and I fancy that run to be extended on Tuesday.

• Best Tip: BTTS - Yes
• Juventude vs Atletico MG prediction: 1-2
