Atletico Mineiro to continue their title charge

Hulk firing Mineiro to glory

Atletico Mineiro look to push on towards the Brazilian Serie A title as they come off the back of a 1-0 win against their bitter rivals America Mineiro on Sunday. A frontline of Eduardo Vargas, Hulk and Diego Costa is a formidable attack, and Hulk's 11 goals in the league puts him second in the top goal scoring charts in Serie A. They sit ten points clear at the top of the league with eight games still to play, so the league title is very much in their grip.

Corinthians looking to upset the apple cart

Both Atletico Mineiro and Corinthians come into this game off the back of two close wins, and with the visitors sitting 6th in Serie A, this should be another close affair. They look to consolidate their spot in the top six in Serie A, but with Internacional breathing down their neck, it will be a close run with the season nearing its finale. But, with Atletico Mineiro having the most solid defence in the league, Corinthians will be lucky to put one past the league's comfortable leaders.

This should be an entertaining tussle at the top end of the table between two of Brazil's most historic clubs. With Atletico Mineiro looking in imperious form, I can see the hosts taking this one. That's why I'm backing Atletico Mineiro to win with bet365.
