- Team form: Remo PA's recent form is mixed – W2, L3 – but they are more impressive at home, with W2, D0 and L1 in their last three.
- Match odds: Atletico Mineiro are the likely winners on paper, but their recent away form (W2, L1) and the recent head-to-head record suggests a close game.
A tight game awaits in Belem
Atletico Mineiro will travel to Belem on Saturday to take on Remo PA, but they might have to grind out a result against their stubborn hosts. Remo PA are 19th in the Serie A 2026 table with 21 points from 21 games, while Atletico are 10th with 28 points from 20 matches, so every point is crucial for the home side at this stage of the season.
Eduardo DomĂnguez has his Atletico side locked in a solid 3-at-the-back shape with compact lines and plenty of discipline. They are set up to control the pace of the game and can soak up pressure and pick their moments to hurt the opposition with pace in the counter-attack. They have beaten Vasco da Gama 1-0 away and Palmeiras 2-1 away during their current run of W3, D1 and L1, so they can be a dangerous side on their day.
Léo Condé's Remo PA side are very different to their visitors in terms of style, preferring a high-tempo, vertical game in which they chase the ball aggressively after a loss. Condé has his men set up in a 4-4-2 formation, but they are a real threat on the counter, especially down their left-hand side where they have been very dangerous in recent weeks.
Remo PA have a key man in Jaja
Player focus
Jaja is a key spark for Remo, as he has two goals in his last five games, during which time his team has scored five in total. However, Atletico will be difficult to break down and Remo will need to be patient to create chances in this one, which may not suit them as much.
Odds and tips
Atletico are the obvious pick to win here at 2.46, but Remo are a very fair price at 2.82 and the Draw at 3.25 is also attractive. However, the safest play seems to be to take the Under 2.5 goals at 1.7 and Both Teams to Score at 1.8, as this should be a tactical battle with neither side wanting to lose.
Form and stats
The head-to-head in this competition finished 3-3 at Atletico's ground, so this matchup has a knack of descending into chaos, but with Atletico in such good shape and Remo so intense, we're sticking with a draw or a close victory for the visitors here.
- In Serie A 2026, Atletico have won four and lost seven of their 11 away games, which is a boom-or-bust road record.
- Remo have conceded just 11 goals at home (1.10 per game) and won three, drawn four and lost three of ten, which gives them a fighting chance in this matchup.
