Prediction published on 28/07/2022, 23:06  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

America Mineiro and Avai are tied on 21 points in the Brazilian Serie A standings ahead of their meeting in the 20th round of league matches. Both are coming from defeats in their last outings and hosts America Mineiro will be looking to use home advantage to rise. Going into this game, America Mineiro are just a point above the relegation region and the loss to Sao Paulo in the last game was their third defeat in four games. They suffered a 1-0 defeat, which meant they’ve now failed to score in three of the last four matches. Four of their last five matches have ended in under 2.5 goals while they’ve only scored more than a goal in one of the last five matches.

Avai are coming from two straight losses, the most recent a 2-1 home defeat inflicted by Flamengo. They have just one win in the last five matches – all the rest ended in defeats and they’ve also not been great in attack. In the last four matches, they’ve failed to score in two, and they haven’t managed more than a goal in their last five matches. Three of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals but it is Avai who have been on the receiving end in those matches. They’ve conceded two or more goals in three of the five games. It is worse for them away from home, as they haven’t scored in the last three away league games, yet they have just one clean sheet in five away league matches.
