Why Bet on Cuiabá
It had been a good few weeks for Cuiabá, who managed to beat Avaí 1-2 (Valdívia and Joaquim) and Botafogo 2-0 (Alesson and André Luís), thus leaving the relegation places, but lost to Palmeiras this Monday by 1-0 despite playing an acceptable game.
One of the great problems of the Dourado has been their attack: they have only been able to score 13 goals in the tournament (the second team with the fewest) and only André, Valdívia and Alesson have been able to score more than 1 goal (2 each). They have had 10 different scorers, which shows that they have not been able to find a good attack and that’s why they are 15th.
Who could be ready for this match is the young midfielder Gabriel Pirani, who arrives on loan from Santos
Why Bet on Atlético Mineiro
Atlético Mineiro comes from beating Botafogo 0-1 with a goal from Argentine Matías Zaracho and has gone 7 undefeated matches in Brasileirão: they only lost to Fluminense (5-3) and their neighbor, América Mineiro. Precisely the Galo will also be encouraging this team on Thursday since they face Palmeiras, and they need to take points away from the Verdao to reach the top.
Despite the good present in the league and in the Copa Libertadores, where they eliminated Emelec from Ecuador (2-1) and are waiting for Palmeiras in the quarterfinals, they lost to Flamengo in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil last Wednesday with a 3-2 aggregate.
The figure of this Mineiro is Hulk, but the top scorer captain (8) has not been at his best and has gone 3 games without scoring, something that has been evidenced in the team’s performance, so he hopes that this game will be his awakening.
