At 08:30 a.m. Beijing time on July 4, 2024, the 14th round of the Brazilian Football Liga will start a match, and the leader Flamengo will face Atletico Mineiro away. Who will die in this game? I'm going to give you some brief analysis of this game below.
Atletico Mineiro currently have a record of 4 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses, and with 18 points in one game less, they are in 11th place in the standings. In the last three games, Atletico Mineiro have achieved an unbeaten record of 1 win and 2 draws, and their form is relatively stable. However, in this game, Atletico Mineiro has a number of players absent from the game due to red and yellow card problems, national team transfers, and injuries, and the team is not in order. Among them, the main striker Hulk may be absent due to physical reasons. The 37-year-old former Shanghai Port international has played six games for Atletico Mineiro this season, scoring one goal and providing two assists.
Flamengo, on the other hand, currently has 8 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, with 27 points and is at the top of the standings. In the last round of the league, they won 2-1 at home to Cruzeiro. Swept away the previous league defeat to Juventud and returned to the winning track. At the moment, Flamengo are just one point ahead of second-placed Palmeiras, so they desperately need a win to defend and consolidate their top spot. Like Atletico Mineiro, Flamengo also had a number of key players absent due to injuries and national team call-ups, and there will be some discounts in terms of strength.
Although in terms of league standings, there is a certain gap between Flamengo and Atletico Mineiro. However, in terms of past head-to-head records, the two sides can be described as evenly matched, and the last 6 meetings between the two sides have a record of 3 wins and 3 losses. Therefore, in this game, I am still optimistic that the two teams will continue their previous record data and separate the winners and losers within 90 minutes.
