Atletico MG vs Sao Paulo 11.07.2022

Reigning champions, Atletico Mineiro continue their shielding of the Campeonato Brasileiro crown on Monday as they welcome Sao Paulo. The white-and-black are in fearsome form and will be hard to stop after their recent 8-game unbeaten record and recording the 2nd highest goals scored so far this season (24 goals). Except the possible resting of their star-spangled forefront could cause the host to lose momentum, other than that, Mineiro looks to be in the driving seat in this match.

On the flip side, Sao Paulo finally seems to have found their identity following their 4-game unbeaten form. Recent results have lifted the dark clouds gathering above Ceni and his men, and they will look to maintain their momentum by picking points against one of the top sides.

While it is easy to see Sao Paulo succumbing to the host at some point, we do not expect them to roll over easily on Monday. This should be a fun-filled encounter which could feature more goals in the 2nd half.
