América Mineiro get ready to welcome Internacional for something different than the ordinary league football: The Copa do Brasil Quarter-finals leg 1 of 2.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Internacional have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
América Mineiro form and stats
América participated in Copa do Brasil the last season, where they reached the 2nd round.The story so far in the Serie B for América Mineiro at their home stadium (Estádio Raimundo Sampaio) is 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats. On the other hand, in the Copa do Brasil, América Mineiro has performed like this (both home and away): 5 wins, 4 draws and 0 losses.
América manager L. Cirne Lima de Lorenzi and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Cuiaba in the Serie B. Before that match, a Copa do Brasil win away at Internacional.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for América as they are travelling to their away game against Operario PR in the Serie B. That match is three days after this one.
The América fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. América have only conceded 8 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Internacional form and stats
Internacional's mission in Copa do Brasil last season failed in the finals.The visitors are W4-D2-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A. When we have look at the Copa do Brasil statistics, we find 2W-0D-1L. This is both home and away. Internacional has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
There might be some fixture complaints from Internacional as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Serie A match against Santos (0-2). Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus América Mineiro.
A new game in only four days for Internacional, the Serie A home match versus Fluminense. Busy days.
Internacional have scored 13 goals on their travels this season, from 11 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 12 goals have been conceded by Internacional in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Internacional - América 0-1, played this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - two - five (América Mineiro wins - draws - Internacional wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
