Atletico Mineiro vs Palmeiras Prediction and Betting Tips | September 28, 2022

Atletico Mineiro will host Palmeiras at the Governador Magalhaes Pinto on Wednesday (September 28) night in the Brasileiro Serie A.

The Galo have struggled of late and have largely floundered in their title defense this season. They were beaten 1-0 by Avai in their last league outing, falling to a penalty early after the restart and failing to maximise their possessional dominance in the second half. Atletico have picked up 40 points from 27 games this season. Sitting seventh in the league standings, they will now look to return to winning ways here.

Palmeiras, meanwhile, are enjoying a solid run of results and appear to have shaken off their Copa Libertadores disappointment as they continue their pursuit of the league title. They beat Santos 1-0 in their last game. Miguel Merentiel came off the bench to score the winner with his maiden home strike for the club.

The visitors sit atop the league table with 57 points from 27 games and will look to add to that tally.
