Vasco da Gama vs Atlético Mineiro Prediction: The Miners are heartbroken

Atlético Mineiro lost the Copa Libertadores final last weekend, and it won't be easy to forget the Buenos Aires game. Atlético🌃 played the whole match with one more player and lost 3-1 to Botafogo, who played heroically. There's hardly a more painful way to lose such an important trophy, and the players are devastated as they wait for the season to end as quickly as possible.

The Giant dr🅰ew 2-2 at home to Atlético Goianiense and woke up from the dream of qualifying for the Copa Libertadores. In coach Felipe's debut, the Cariocas were 2-0 down against the last-placed team but avoided a humiliating defeat in the 93rd minute with a goal from Alex Teixeira. Vasco is in 12th place with 44 points, the same as Atlético Mineiro. This position is the last one that grants access to the Copa Sudamericana, so this game is decisive for both sides.

The 2024 Copa Libertadores final will be unforgettable for football enthusiasts, for winner Botafogo, and also for Atlético. When Gregore, the Botafogo midfielder, received a red card in the first minute of the game, most people at the Monumental thought that Atlético would lift the trophy. However, football is the most beautiful game, and the Lone Star Club was leading 2-0 at half-time. The Miners reduced the deficit through Vargas in the 47th minute but mis꧋sed several chances to equalize, and in the last minute, Júnior Santos made it 3-1 to seal the final result. The defeat was painful, but the Belo Horizonte team must react to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana.

Vasco hasn't won in five games, while Atlético's winless streak is now at 11, so I don't think there are any favorites. This game is decisive for both teams who want to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana. Vasco is in 12th place,🍌 precisely the last place that grants a place in that competition, and Atlético is one position below with the same 44 points. The Miners are enduring some tough days follow🍬ing their defeat in the Copa Libertadores final, but they must fight back. I'm betting on a Double Chance in favor of Atlético with a maximum of four goals scored.
