Mirassol v America Mineiro

Mirassol vs America MG Preview

Next up in the Brazilian second tier is this upcoming clash between third placed hosts Mirassol and their seventh placed visitors America MG when the two top seven teams clash at the Estádio José Maria de Campos Maia with a precious three points at stake for both teams with Mirassol looking to return to winning ways after a loss and a draw, while America MG will be looking to bounce back from a 1-0 loss away from home at Vila Nova.

A recent 2-1 loss at home to Botafogo followed by a disappointing 0-0 draw away from home at lowly Paysandu have prevented Mirassol from closing the gap on the Serie B leaders Novorizontino who possess a four-point cushion over third placed Mirassol prior to this midweek encounter.

Nevertheless, Mirassol hold a two-point lead over fifth placed Avai ahead of this upcoming fixture against America MG and prior to the loss at the hands of Botafogo, Mirassol had previously put together a solid looking six-match unbeaten sequence in Serie B which consisted of five wins and a draw.

Victories against Coritiba, Operario, Chapecoense, Brusque and Ceara should still give Mozart's side plenty of confidence ahead of this upcoming fixture.

America MG's stubborn looking nine-game unbeaten run in the Brazilian Serie B finally came to an end last time out when they were dealt a 1-0 defeat away from home at Vila Nova which resulted in the visitors dropping down the Serie B table to seventh place.

Two wins and no fewer than seven draws were achieved in America MG's preceding nine games and although they collected wins against Operario and Botafogo, these were both registered on home soil at their Estádio Raimundo Sampaio, while the seven draws have slowed down the visitors' progress.

The bigger picture shows America MG have managed to capture just two wins within their previous 13 games overall in the domestic second tier while slipping to a total of three defeats which include earlier losses in the season at the hands of Coritiba and Goias, both of which were away from home.

Indeed, America MG have failed to win any of their last eight away games in Serie B which consists of four draws but also four defeats as well, thus making this upcoming trip to the Estádio José Maria de Campos Maia a potentially daunting one for Lisca and his America MG side.

In addition, America MG have failed to score in five of these last eight outings on the road while no fewer than seven of these eight away games have also resulted in Under 2.5 goals.
