América Mineiro get ready to welcome Corinthians for something different than the ordinary league football: The Copa do Brasil 8th Finals leg 1 of 2.
It's no vacation for neither América nor Corinthians 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.
América Mineiro form and stats
Last season their Copa do Brasil adventure ended in the 2nd round.América Mineiro have collected 17 points from their Serie B home games so far after 5-2-2. On the other hand, in the Copa do Brasil, América Mineiro has performed like this (both home and away): 4 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for América Mineiro, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
América are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Avai. A strong away win before that one, visiting Corinthians and winning 1-0.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for América, as the Serie B home game vs Ponte Preta is only three days away.
