Cruzeiro to record a victory over America Mineiro

Cruzeiro to record a victory over America Mineiro

On Tuesday night, Cruzeiro and America Mineiro go head-to-head in the Brazilian Serie A, as the home side looks to push into the Copa Libertadores.

Cruzeiro are currently eighth place in the Brazilian top-flight, in the Copa Libertadores play-off spots. However, the home side are just a point behind the top-six and the automatic qualification spots for the Copa Libertadores.

The team from Belo Horizonte have been inconsistent of late, having failed to win in their last three Serie A outings, drawing twice and losing once. Last time out in the league, they drew 1-1 at Parana.

Cruzeiro’s recent Serie A games have been low scoring, as under 2.5 goals have been scored in their last 12 outings.

Their recent home record is good, as the home side has won three of their last four games in Serie A on home soil. A 1-1 draw with Vasco Da Gama in their last home game ended a three-game winning run at home for Mano Menezes side in the Brazilian top-flight.

Cruzeiro have suffered just three defeats in their 20 home games in Serie A. This game gives the home side a good chance of continuing their good home record.

America Mineiro are currently 13th place in the Serie A table after winning just one of their last six Serie A outings, losing four games in the process. However, an away win would put the visitor’s just one point behind the home side in the standings.

The visitor’s away form in Serie A over two spells has been woeful, as they have failed to win in 26 games on their travels in the Brazilian top-flight. In fact, they have lost ten of their last 11 outings on the road in Serie A.

Forebet predicts that Cruzeiro will record a victory in a low scoring game to enhance their position in the Serie A table.
