There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with América Mineiro leading CRB by 20 points.
- América Mineiro have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- CRB has the fewest clean sheets (1) away in Serie B
The hosts América saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Copa do Brasil. That game was an away game at Palmeiras, so at least América are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
These teams have little in common geographically as CRB have to travel 1800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
América Mineiro form and stats
8-4-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for América Mineiro so far this season.
América Mineiro manager L. Cirne Lima de Lorenzi and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Palmeiras in the Copa do Brasil. In the match before that, América hosted Chapecoense and drew the Serie B game 2-2.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier América matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, three draws and two defeats (from eight games).
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Copa do Brasil game versus Palmeiras in only four days. This game is also played here at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio.
América has scored 21 league goals at home this season, in 15 matches. América are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 14 from 15 matches.
CRB form and stats
There's been little loot from CRB's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 15 away games in the Serie B. CRB, who have the fewest clean sheets (1) away in Serie B, only have 3 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 2 draws. A depressing four defeats in a row for CRB in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Oeste.
CRB go into this game after a win, the home game against Botafogo SP that ended 1-0. A loss against Parana was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of CRB when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing zero and winning two games.
CRB has another fixture away, a Serie B game, against Avai in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The attacking power of CRB when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored from 15 league matches away. CRB have conceded 27 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was CRB - América 0-0, played this season. As for the last nine games between these two teams, there's six América victories, one draw and two CRB wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
