Prediction Santos vs Atlético Mineiro Season 2025 – Betting Tips for Serie A on April 17, 2025

Match Preview

The upcoming clash between Santos and Atlético Mineiro promises to be an intense showdown in the Serie A as both teams look to climb up the standings. With Santos currently positioned 18th and Atlético Mineiro just above them in 17th, both sides are desperate for points to steer clear of the relegation zone. This match will take place at the historic Estádio Urbano Caldeira in Santos, where home fans will be hoping to see their team secure vital points.

Current Form and Statistics

Santos are struggling this season, having played three matches with a record that reflects just one point earned from a draw, alongside two losses. Their attacking capabilities are evident as they have netted three goals but have conceded five, giving them a negative goal differential. The most recent match saw Santos succumb to Fluminense in a 1-0 defeat.

Meanwhile, Atlético Mineiro also finds itself underwhelmed this season, recording the same number of matches played. They have accumulated two points, courtesy of two draws and one loss. In their latest match, Atlético drew 2-2 against Vitória, showcasing their resilience but still lacking that killer instinct needed to secure victories. Their attacking statistics are slightly better, with three goals scored but also four conceded.

Both teams appear to struggle defensively, highlighted by the fact that a significant percentage of their matches have seen both teams score. For Santos, this has happened in 50% of their games, while Atlético Mineiro also matches that mark.

Head-to-Head

A key factor leading up to this matchup is their recent head-to-head history. In their last encounter back in August 2023, Atlético Mineiro emerged victorious with a convincing 2-0 win over Santos. The psychological edge and recent form heavily lean towards the visiting team.

Betting Suggestions

With both teams in need of a win to turn around their respective seasons, it would certainly make for an exhilarating game. The odds favor Santos to win at 2.35, with a probability of 42.55%, while Atlético gets a 3.00 chance with a 33.33% probability.

Given the attacking frailties both sides have displayed and their prior encounter, the safest betting market appears to be both teams to score, as both have shown vulnerabilities at the back while still managing to find the net.

Overall, place your bets with caution, but expect a thrilling game filled with goal-scoring opportunities.
