THE PREDICTION
Atletico Mineiro and Palmeiras played out a tense 0-0 draw in their Copa Libertadores first leg as this semi-final tie concludes in Belo Horizonte. Both teams are well aware of their opponents’ respective strengths and weaknesses considering that they each play in the same domestic league, which suggests that another close encounter is on the cards here. Whilst Atletico Mineiro are the home side, they’ll be well aware that conceding one goal would see them needing two themselves in order to reach the final and will therefore need to prioritise defensive stability in the second leg, not taking any risks with Palmeiras no doubt maintaining a solid shape within their backline and midfield, as they look to counter-attack the hosts. With that in mind, it would be no surprise if this second-leg also saw under 2.5 goals scored over 90 minutes, regardless of who comes out on top.
