Bet on total
Atletico Mineiro has several losses in the attacking line, but at the same time has a powerful reserve and is capable of performing effectively on its home field even against such a closed opponent as San Lorenzo. At the same time, the "roosters" are far from ideal in defense; the "saints" are quite capable of responding with one ball on counterattacks.

Bet on corners
Atletico Mineiro are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
