America MG vs Palmeiras
Brasileiro Serie A
Date: Sunday, 9th October 2016,
Kick-off at 21:00 UK
Venue: Estadio Municipal Jacy Scaff, Londrina (Neutral Venue).
America Mineiro were on a four match unbeaten run before the 3-0 defeat to Coritiba in the previous round fixture. They continue to remain at the rock bottom of the Brasileiro Serie A with a massive 12 point distance to safety from the relegation zone. They were also on a 2 match winning run at home and their chances to keep the good run going is dent a blow as they welcome the league leaders Palmeiras into a neutral venue in Londrina.
Palmeiras have a three point from the second placed Flamengo. And it is important for them to keep winning in order to end their 12 year wait for the Serie A title. The form is on their side with a 11-match unbeaten run and wins from the last three.
Palmeiras are unbeaten in their last 11 league matches, with 5 wins coming from their last 7. Their last five away matches have seen 4 wins and clean-sheets in four of them. This match is played in a neutral venue and this set a perfect stage for Palmeiras to grab another win and extend their lead at the top of the table.
Only 2 of the last 9 matches between these two sides have seen over 2.5 goals. Also Palmeiras are the second best defensive side in the league and it will prove quite hard for America to find a way through. So there is a good chance for this game to see under 2.5 goals.
