CONMEBOL Sudamericana, Group B · Round 2
Atlético Mineiro
Juventud de Las Piedras
Atlético Mineiro looks to score and leave the pressure behind in the Sudamericana
Juventud de Las Piedras arrives confident, but the statistical edge still favors the Brazilian side in Group B
This Wednesday, April 16, at 10 p.m., Atlético Mineiro hosts Juventud de Las Piedras in a match still without a designated stadium, for the second round of the Sudamericana. The duel carries weight on the table, as Galo tries to move out of the danger zone and the Uruguayan side seeks its first point away from home.
O que está em jogo
Group B is still in its early stage, with eight teams tied on three points and two with only one. Galo, who has yet to earn any points, needs to get on the scoresheet to avoid being at the mercy of opponents who have already started well. Meanwhile Juventud, hoping to turn the recent win over Progreso into a turning point, aims to ensure that a first loss does not weigh heavily on their standing.

In the last five fixtures, Atlético Mineiro recorded two victories – against Athletico and Chapecoense – but also three defeats, all by narrow margins. The run shows defensive vulnerability, especially in the clashes with Santos and Fluminense. On the other hand, Juventud de Las Piedras has a less favorable record: only one win, one draw and three losses, highlighted by the defeat to Racing de Montevideo, which exposed difficulties in scoring goals.

Análise tática
Statistics point to a slight advantage for the home side, with a 54.4% chance of victory, while a draw has a 19% probability and an away win 26.6%. This difference reflects the offensive firepower shown by Galo in the match against Chapecoense, when they rattled the net four times. However, the defense has been a weak point, and Juventud can exploit the spaces left behind, as they did when opening the scoring against Progreso.
