Both América Mineiro and Palmeiras are longing for points in this match, despite the visitors having a 18 point advantage so far this season.
- América Mineiro have the most conceded goals (33) in Serie A
- Palmeiras have won significantly less corners away then at home.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
América Mineiro form and stats
With 2 Serie A wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, América Mineiro are certainly not brimming with confidence.
América Mineiro travelled for their previous game, a trip to Flamengo that ended 1-1. América's goalie Pasinato played a big part in securing a draw after 90 minutes against Flamengo with a stunning eight saves.
Preceding that result, a home win hosting Colo-Colo in the Copa Sudamericana.
Some goal stats: A review of the 13 most recent league matches highlights that 10 of them had at least one goal scored by each team.
The match schedule is unforgiving for América Mineiro as they have a new game in only four days, a Copa Sudamericana match thankfully also at home. Bragantino are visiting.
The América Mineiro fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches.
Palmeiras form and stats
As the visiting team in Serie A matches, Palmeiras have produced an overall stat of 2-5-1 so far. Two points from the last two away games for Palmeiras, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
Impressive finishing from Rios, Veiga and Lopes secured the home win 3-1 against Fortaleza in their previous game. Those three points felt nice as this club had gone five league fixtures without winning. Midfield player Veiga was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.8/10. Veiga scored one goal, dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 20 successful passes (of 24 total).
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Internacional that ended 0-0.The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Copa Libertadores trip to Atletico Mineiro.
Palmeiras are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 12 times in 8 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Palmeiras as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Data for the prior ten meetings featuring these two participants are: one win for América, three draws and six wins for Palmeiras. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
