Clube Atletico Mineiro vs Palmeiras tips and predictions

Hard to pick a winner in Serie A clash; deadlock in the offing

There's not much between Clube Atletico Mineiro and Palmeiras in the Serie A. The hosts are in ninth place with 13 points, compared to their opponents who are in seventh place on 14 points.

Arguments can be made for both sides and whatever happens it won't be a surprise to see them cancel each other out. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick and the draw odds available in the match winner market look like pretty good value.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Solid on their own soil Clube Atletico Mineiro have conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 matches. Meanwhile Palmeiras have conceded only 1 goal in their last 5 away matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head 8 of the last 11 have ended in a draw.

Don't be surprised if the two sides cancel each other out in a battle of attrition. It isn't standout value but the No BTTS bet seems fair enough.

Clube Atletico Mineiro have drawn 4 of their last 11 matches on their own soil, most recently when they drew 1-1 with Bahia at home earlier this month. Palmeiras have drawn 8 of their last 17 matches on the road. The feeling is it will be a tightly contested match-up and the pick has to be with the value offered up by the draw price. You could make worse bets than getting with a deadlock.
