The Brazilian Serie A continues this weekend and on Saturday the 4th of June we have a meeting between América Mineiro and Cuiabá.
The match will take place at the Estádio Raimundo Sampaio and the hosts begin the weekend in 10th place on 11 points while the visitors are in 16th place on 8 points.
América Mineiro come into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw at Corinthians in Serie A. América Mineiro opened the scoring in the 67th minute and it looked as though they were going to take maximum points but Corinthians hit back with only 8 minutes remaining on the clock.
That result means América Mineiro have failed to win any of their last 5 fixtures in all competitions.
There have been draws with Botafogo and Corinthians in Serie A plus a 2-2 draw at Deportes Tolima in the Copa Libertadores.
América Mineiro have also tasted defeat against Coritiba away in Serie A and Independiente Valle in the Copa Libertadores, the latter of which was a 3-0 loss.
Home form is good and trends show there are no losses for América Mineiro in 18 of their most recent 21 home games in Serie A.
They have not tasted defeat in their 13 most recent home Serie A games and have seen under 2.5 goals scored in 4 of their last 5 home Serie A fixtures.
Cuiabá make the trip to the Estádio Raimundo Sampaio having previously lost 1-0 at home to Athletico Paranaense in Serie A.
The only goal of the match was scored in the 85th minute and came as a blow to the hosts. That result means Cuiabá have won only 1 of their 10 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
They have failed to win any of their last 3 games, with a loss at Santos in Serie A and defeat at home to Racing Club in the Copa Sudamericana.
Form in Serie A shows Cuiabá have failed to win any of their 5 most recent matches in the league. There have been defeats to Santos and Sao Paulo away in addition to the recent at loss at home to Athletico Paranaense.
Trends show Cuiabá have achieved just 2 wins in their last 13 away Serie A games.
Looking ahead to the team news and América Mineiro have several players on the treatment table, including Juan Pablo Ramírez, Germán Conti, Paulinho Bóia, Wellington Paulista, Everaldo, and Orlando Berrio.
Cuiabá have just the one issue and forward Elton is expected to miss out due to a thigh injury.
América Mineiro will be keen to get back to winning ways having made a decent start to the season. A win in this game will keep them in touch with the leaders and with home advantage, they should come out on top.
We expect this one to end with a narrow home victory and under 2.5 goals scored.
