América Mineiro Host Juventude in What Could Be a Tight Match
América Mineiro vs Juventude - 24/06/2021
5261
The Brazilian Serie A continues this week and on the 24th of June we have a meeting between América Mineiro and Juventude at the Estádio Raimundo Sampaio.
The hosts begin the week in 19th place with just a single point to their name while the visitors are in 14th place on 5 points, so this is a key fixture in the bottom half of the table.
América Mineiro come into the match having lost 2-1 away from home against Palmeiras.
Having taken the lead in the 38th minute, América Mineiro failed to hold on to their advantage for any length of time and they conceded the equalising goal just one minute later.
Just as it appeared as though América Mineiro were going to hold on for only their second point of the season, Willian struck his second goal of the game in the 90th minutes to hand Palmeiras maximum points.
That defeat means América Mineiro have failed to win any of their 5 Serie A fixtures this season.
The recent 0-0 draw at home against Cuiabá is the only point they have gained and unless they begin picking up points with more regularity soon, América Mineiro could find themselves cut adrift at the bottom of the table.
Trends show América Mineiro are conceding an average of 0.50 goals in their home Serie A games but the average number of goals scored by América Mineiro in Serie A this season is just 0.20.
Juventude come into the game on the back of a 1-0 home win over Sport Recife.
It was an important result for Juventude, who had failed to win any of their previous 4 Serie A fixtures and they scored the only goal of the game with just 7 minutes remaining on the clock. That result allowed Juventude to move above Sport Recife in the table.
The win completed a good turnaround by Juventude who lost their previous game, also at home, 3-0 against Palmeiras.
Interestingly, Juventude have played only 2 Serie A fixtures away from home so far this season and they remain undefeated. Juventude picked up a point at both Cuiabá and Santos, the latter of which was a good result.
Trends show Juventude have scored an average of 0.60 goals in their league games and they have made a decent return to life in Serie A, having last played in the league back in 2007.
Team news and América Mineiro have a fully fit squad available for this game. They will be hoping for more from the likes of Bruno Nazário, Rodolfo, and Ribamar in attack.
Juventude are in the much the same place as their opponents and are injury free. Matheus Peixoto will be hoping to start up-front having scored 2 goals so far this season.
This has the makings of being a close game and although both teams could find the back of the net, do not expect a feast of goals. In fact, each team could score a single goal, with the points shared in a 1-1 draw.
