Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Vitoria U20 in 10th and América Mineiro U20 in 12th place.
Vitoria U20 and América Mineiro U20 should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting América Mineiro U20 have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 1-0-0 (win-draw-loss) from one match.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for América Mineiro U20, who are travelling more than 1200 kilometers to play this game.

The overall stats in the Brasileiro U20 are 4-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).

Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against Sao Paulo U20 last time out, but a goal from Dominik Kovacs completed a comeback to a draw result for Vitoria.
There will be little rest for Vitoria after this match as they are travelling to Cruzeiro U20 for a Brasileiro U20 game in only three days.

It's the second away game in a row for América Mineiro U20, but there's smiles all around after the 3-2 victory versus Gremio U20 (placed 11th) in the Brasileiro U20 last time out. A loss against Corinthians U20 was the result prior to that, in a home game.
What a finish in the last match, as América Mineiro U20 came back from being down 0-2 and secured a very satisfying victory through Dominik Kovacs's goal in the 89th minute.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Internacional U20 in just three days.
The travelling fans enjoy América's attacking play in away games, having scored 9 goals in 6 league matches away. América Mineiro U20's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.
