Insights:

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

América Mineiro have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

América Mineiro form and stats

América Mineiro's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed América Mineiro, who have the most points (32) away in Serie B, collect 32 points from their 16 away matches in the Serie B. 9 victories and 5 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). Having won their last three away games América has no reason to fear anyone.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. América goalkeeper Matheus Fernando Cavichioli is eager to challenge this, with his 195 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
