It's the second chance for points this league season as América Mineiro and Juventude bump heads at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio.

These teams have little in common geographically as Juventude have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

The hosts América Mineiro saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Copa Libertadores. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Atletico Mineiro.

América Mineiro form and stats

The previous season, América Mineiro's league statistics were 5 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, leading to 5th place in the Mineiro 1. In these eleven matches they scored 11 goals and conceded 8. Playing at their own stadium in the previous season América Mineiro managed 3-1-2 (win-draw-lost) with 6 goals and 4 conceded.

The América boss Gonçalves and his crew return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Atletico Mineiro in the Copa Libertadores. Midfield player Azevedo got a match rating of 7.31 in that game, the max score being 10. Azevedo scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times.

Prior to that, an away loss at Avaí in the Serie A.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how América Mineiro have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won four times, drawn four and lost one.

There will be little rest for América Mineiro after this match as they are travelling to CSA for a Copa do Brasil game in only three days.

Juventude form and stats

In total they scored 36 and conceded 44 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 7 and lost 10 with 17/29 goals scored/conceded.

Juventude's last game was the home draw against Bragantino (2-2). As mentioned above, Juventude drew the match against Bragantino. Manager Baptista brought on Ruiz to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked. Busanello, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.6. Busanello hit one key pass and won 8 of 12 duels.

hometeam won We have checked recent matches where Juventude have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were two victories, two draws and five defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting São Paulo in just four days.
