Cuiabá and América Mineiro are both riding high in the Serie B with their 3rd and 2nd positions respectively. Expect a great game!
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 Cuiabá and América Mineiro.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for América Mineiro, who are travelling more than 1500 kilometers to play this game.
Cuiabá form and stats
Cuiabá, who have the most points (24) at home in Serie B, have performed here at Arena Pantanal this season with 7 wins from 10 Serie B matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 0.
Cuiabá's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Gremio. A Serie B defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Brasil de Pelotas.
This is expected to be a close game, with Cuiabá perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Cuiabá as a small favourite), we find three games. Cuiabá has won one of these, drawn zero and lost two.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Luverdense are coming to town in two days.
A decent goal production from Cuiabá in their home games so far, with 16 goals from 10 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Cuiabá have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 5 goals. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
América Mineiro form and stats
The visitors are W5-D3-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Serie B.
It's the second away game in a row for América, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Internacional in the Copa do Brasil last time out. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Ponte Preta.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with América Mineiro playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were four América Mineiro wins, nine draws and zero defeats.
After this away game América return home for a Copa do Brasil game against Internacional. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The attacking power of América when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 10 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The América defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (5 goals in 10 games). It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
