América Mineiro form and stats
Overall Serie A stats at home this season for América Mineiro are 0-3-1 (wins-draw-losses). Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio, but a victory now would be sweet for América.

Midfielder Juninho Valoura was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.8 (out of ten) in that game. Valoura scored two goals, hit three key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 22 successful passes (of 27 total).
