5th place in the Serie A table for Internacional right now, a potent campaign. The match-going fans pray for more joy as 13th-placed América Mineiro visit Estádio José Pinheiro Borda.

Insights:
  • Internacional have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • América Mineiro have the fewest points from losing position (0) in Serie A

These teams have little in common geographically as América Mineiro have to travel 1700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Internacional and América Mineiro should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

América Mineiro form and stats

América Mineiro have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 1-1-6 (8 played).

The fans enjoyed América's previous fixture versus Goiás (placed 17th), a 1-0 win played at home. That victory felt nice as this team had gone five league games without winning. Almeida came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Goiás last time out, making the manager Mancini feel like a tactical genius. Cavichioli was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.63. The agile goalkeeper Cavichioli topped it up with a clean sheet.

Low on goals? 8 of this club's latest 10 league matches have had two goals or less.

América Mineiro have another game that requires travelling in just three nights, a Copa do Brasil fixture against Botafogo. A demanding calendar for the visitors!

There's been a serious shortage of goals from América Mineiro's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 8 matches. As for defending, América rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 12 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the last ten meetings between these two sides are: five wins for Internacional, two draws and three wins for América Mineiro. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
