Game week two of the Brasileiro U20 season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Flamengo RJ U20 - América Mineiro U20 preview:
It's no vacation for neither Flamengo RJ U20 nor América Mineiro U20 as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Flamengo RJ U20 form and stats
The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Estádio Luso-Brasileiro.
A nice win for Flamengo last time playing, versus Resende U20. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-1. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Internacional U20 (1-2).
This is expected to be a close game, with Flamengo RJ U20 perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Flamengo RJ U20 as a small favourite), we find two games. Flamengo RJ U20 has won two of these, drawn zero and lost zero.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Flamengo as they are travelling to their away game against Vasco U20 in the Carioca U20. That match is three days after this one.
Last season, Flamengo RJ U20's league statistics were 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, resulting in a 1st position in the Carioca U20. Over these seven matches they scored 18 goals and conceded 9. Playing at home last season Flamengo RJ U20 managed 3-0-1 (win-draw-lost) with 14 goals and 5 conceded.
América Mineiro U20 form and stats
There were no winners in América's previous match, a Brasileiro U20 home game that ended 0-0 vs Ceará U20 (placed 13th). A 0-1 defeat away at Desportivo Brasil U20 before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with América Mineiro U20 playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were two América wins, zero draws and three defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as América are hosting Sport Recife U20 in the Brasileiro U20 only four days away.
Let's have a look at how América Mineiro U20 performed last season in the Brasileiro U20: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 8 victories, 3 draws and 8 defeats. In total they scored 25 and conceded 28 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 1 and lost 5 with 13/15 goals scored/conceded.
