With the nervous opening match done it’s time for the second Serie A meeting of the season. São Paulo look forward to welcoming América Mineiro in front of their home fans.
It's no vacation for neither São Paulo nor América Mineiro as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
São Paulo form and stats
The season before, São Paulo's league statistics were 7 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, resulting in 1st position in the Paulista A1. During these twelve matches they scored {23 goals} and conceded 10. Appearing at their own stadium in the previous season São Paulo generated 3-1-2 (win-draw-lost) with {13 goals} and 6 conceded.
Paulo's previous match was a Copa Sudamericana game also played at home, finishing 2-0 against Academia Puerto Cabello. The home side hope to to repeat that performance.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Botafogo (1-2).The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from São Paulo's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 10 games, won 8 matches, drawn 1 and lost 1.
The manager Ceni will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Ituano in only three days.
América Mineiro form and stats
Let's have a look at how América Mineiro performed last season in the Serie A: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 15 victories, 8 draws and 15 defeats. In total they scored 40 and conceded {40 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 4 and lost 9 with 18/22 goals scored/conceded.
Two away games in a row for América Mineiro, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 vs Defensa y Justicia in the Copa Sudamericana.
A 0-3 loss hosting Fluminense before that.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and América Mineiro playing away, we found 6 games. Results were 1 away win, 1 draw and 4 home wins.
A quick return to home after this game, as América are hosting Nova Iguacu in the Copa do Brasil only four days away.
