América Mineiro form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie B, América Mineiro have managed 9 wins, 4 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 16 games.

América are confident in defense, having played 195 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

It's back home for América, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Guarani away with the result 1-0. Rodolfo found the net in that victory. Ahead of that match, América lost 0-2 at home to Palmeiras.

América are traveling soon after this match as the Serie B match at Nautico awaits in three days.

América are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 22 goals in 16 games. From these home matches, América Mineiro have conceded only 14 goals.

Vitória form and stats

There's been little loot from Vitória's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 15 away games in the Serie B. Vitória only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 8 draws. Vitória seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Vitória played 1-1 against Operario PR in their previous match. A 0-3 defeat away at CSA before that.

The schedule is very tough for Vitória now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie B game at Avai is waiting in only four days.

Vitória have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 15 league away games 18 goals have been scored. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Vitória have conceded 23 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Vitória - América 1-2. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): América won four games, three matches ended with a draw and Vitória has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four
