The visiting Botafogo U20 side should be favourites in this visit to América Mineiro U20, as the away team holds a 9 point advantage from their 15 league games this season.
- Botafogo U20 is in the best form (5-1-0)
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Brasileiro U20. That game was also an away game, at Flamengo RJ U20. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
América Mineiro U20 form and stats
América Mineiro U20's struggle is real here at Estádio das Alterosas with only 7 points collected from 7 Brasileiro U20 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-4. Game days at Estádio das Alterosas have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for América as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts. América has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager M. Gonçalves Milagres and the players.
América Mineiro U20 faced defeat in their previous match, away at Atletico-PR U20 (1-2). Preceding that match was a defeat to Internacional U20 (0-1).

América Mineiro U20 have scored 6 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. 9 goals have been conceded.
Botafogo U20 form and stats

Two away games in a row for Botafogo U20, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-3 versus Flamengo RJ U20 in the Brasileiro U20. It was a Carioca U20 defeat before that one as the away game against Volta Redonda U20 (after extra-time, 3-5 on penalties) wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
A new game in only two days for Botafogo U20, the Carioca U20 home match versus Vasco U20. Busy days.
