Atlético Mineiro is in good form in South America Copa Libertadores and they are unbeatable at Arena MRV. Caracas did not win any of their last five matches in
Under the guidance of former Barcelona center-back Gabriel Milito, Atletico Mineiro has dominated the Copa Libertadores group stage, securing their spot in the knockout phase for the fourth consecutive year. They've amassed an impressive 12 points from a possible 15 against Caracas, Penarol, and Rosario Central, with only a minor setback in their last match against Penarol. Despite this loss, Mineiro maintains a comfortable lead at the top of Group G and only need a draw in the final match to secure the top spot. Additionally, their strong home form, winning six of their last eight matches, including the last three, further enhances their confidence heading into the upcoming fixture.
Caracas, on the other hand, has struggled throughout their Copa Libertadores campaign, sitting at the bottom of the group with just one point from five matches. Their lackluster performance extends beyond the continental competition, as they are currently on a 16-match winless streak across all competitions. This dismal run has seen them plummet to 11th place in the Venezuelan league table, with defensive vulnerabilities evident, conceding 15 goals in the Copa Libertadores, the highest in the tournament. Their previous encounter with Mineiro ended in a 4-1 defeat at home, indicating the daunting task they face away from home.
As Atletico Mineiro hosts Caracas in the final group-stage match, the contrast between the two teams couldn't be starker. While Mineiro aims to solidify their position at the top of Group G with a dominant home performance, Caracas seeks to salvage some pride amidst a dismal campaign. With Mineiro's formidable form and Caracas' struggles both defensively and offensively, the odds heavily favor the home side.
