Insights:
  • América Mineiro have yet to win a game.
  • Juventude have the most conceded goals in the second half (7) in Serie A

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.

Juventude have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

América Mineiro form and stats

América Mineiro have less points than they have played home games in the Serie A so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 1 point.

In their previous game, the manager L. Cirne Lima de Lorenzi led his América to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Palmeiras. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio. The attacker Rodolfo was "man of the match" for América with a rating of 7.4/10. Rodolfo hit three key passes. Heartbreak for América in their last match as Palmeiras's Willian scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Ademir for missing a penalty kick versus Palmeiras in the 45th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Cuiaba that ended 0-0.

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 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won two times, drawn two and lost two.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for América, as the Serie A home game vs Internacional is only three days away.

América Mineiro has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
