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 Confiança and América Mineiro.

It's quite the trip for América Mineiro when visiting Confiança as the cities are 1600 kilometers apart.

Confiança are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture.

Confiança form and stats

Confiança have played 18 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-5-6 (wins-draws-losses). The Confiança manager D. Pollo Barioni might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

The Confiança fans got no joy from their last match, a Serie B game also here at Estádio Estadual Lourival Baptista: A 0-1 defeat against Sampaio Corrêa (placed 7th). A strong away win before that one, visiting Oeste and winning 1-0.

The Confiança fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 18 matches. 21 goals have been conceded.

América Mineiro form and stats

As the visiting team in Serie B matches, América Mineiro, who have the most points (34) away in Serie B, have produced an overall stat of 9-7-2 so far. Things are running smoothly for América who hasn't tasted defeat in their last eleven matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Cruzeiro. América are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played eight in a row without losing.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Brasil de Pelotas (placed 12th) in their previous outing. The Serie B match ended in a draw 0-0. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Botafogo SP.

The visitors have scored 14 goals from 18 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The América Mineiro defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (7 goals in 18 games). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
