A key match in Serie B as both teams are battling for the top positions. With América Mineiro in 2nd position and Juventude placed 4th, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for América Mineiro and Juventude.
Juventude have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
América Mineiro form and stats
The story so far in the Serie B for América Mineiro at their home stadium (Estádio Raimundo Sampaio) is 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
The América goalkeeper Matheus Fernando Cavichioli is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 193 minutes without conceding a goal in the Serie B.
América are returning here after visiting Operário PR in a Serie B game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Léo Passos scored the goal(s). Before that game, the home loss against Internacional with the scoreline 0-1.
The manager L. Cirne Lima de Lorenzi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Oeste in only three days.
The América Mineiro fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. From these home matches, América have conceded only 8 goals.
Juventude form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (35) in Serie B, on their Serie B travels is 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.
Rafael Silva, Capixaba, Renato Cajá (2) and Gustavo Bochecha scored in Juventude's previous match, the home game against Parana that ended 5-0. Preceding that, the 2-3 home loss versus Sampaio Correa.
As you can tell from the results above, Juventude was very dominant against Parana, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with Rafael Silva, Capixaba, Renato Cajá (2) and Gustavo Bochecha providing the goals.
A quick return to home after this game, as Juventude are hosting Náutico in the Serie B only four days away.
