Competition: Brazil Serie B
Date: Tue 05.November
Match begins: 23:30 (UTC)
Venue: Independencia (23018 seats)

América Mineiro perform at a high level so far being 5th in the table. Paraná can look both up and down from their 7th position.

América Mineiro have less rest than Paraná in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Serie B game only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Ponte Preta, was also a home game here at Independencia. The away team is better rested.

Paraná have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
