This could be an interesting match as Avaí have their presumed home advantage while América Mineiro are ahead 12 points in the Serie B table.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Copa do Brasil. That game was also an away game, at Corinthians. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
América Mineiro have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
