Needing a win to prolong their stay in the 2024 Copa Libertadores, Atletico Mineiro welcome Fluminense to Arena MRV on Wednesday in the second leg of that quarter-final tie.
A goal three minutes before the 90 last week lifted the reigning champions to a 1-0 victory over Mineiro heading into this deciding game.
We say: Atletico Mineiro 1-0 Fluminense (Atletico Mineiro advance on penalties)
Mineiro have been sharp at home throughout this competition, while Flu have not shown the kind of potency we are used to seeing as the visitors, and in the end, we believe the goalkeeping of Galo will be massive and enable them to reverse this tie.

On Wednesday, Botafogo can move into the Copa Libertadores semi-finals for the first time in over 60 years when they travel to Morumbi to face Sao Paulo in the second leg of that tie.
When these sides met a week ago, neither could find that decisive breakthrough, playing to a 0-0 draw at Estadio Nilton Santos.
We say: Sao Paulo 0-1 Botafogo (Botafogo advances 1-0 on aggregate)
Fogo have won countless one-goal games in the Brazilian top-flight this season, and we trust their consistency against Brasileiro opposition will continue in midweek and carry them into the final four of this tournament.
