The start of the Brasileirao season has been full of surprises, with traditionally successful teams struggling to shine. The Santos vs America-MG match on the third matchday of the tournament could attract a great audience, as both teams are seeking their first win.
It’s a shock to see Santos among the bottom teams of the standings, being one of six teams that hasn’t won yet, but at least it comes from a draw in its previous match. Meanwhile, America-MG started on the wrong foot with two losses, so it has the same need and thirst for victory. Who will come out on top?

Betting on Santos Futebol Clube
Santos has had a couple of surprises in the first two games of the Brasileirao. The first one was a 1-0 defeat against Gremio, and the second one was a goalless draw against Atlético Mineiro. It’s not only concerning that the team is not winning, but it’s also alarming that it hasn’t scored any goals.
It has gone three games without a victory in all competitions, and this team has not scored a goal in 322 minutes. Although Santos has had a busy 2023, it has not achieved many victories, with only seven wins out of 19 matches played. However, it can boast that it is at least fulfilling its duties at home, remaining unbeaten in nine home games in all competitions. It’s worth noting that it has also kept a clean sheet in its last three home games.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): João Paulo; Nathan, Messias, Eduardo Bauermann, Lucas Pires; Angelo, Dodi, Rodrigo Fernández, Daniel Ruíz; Lucas Lima, Marcos Leonardo.
Betting on America Futebol Clube
America-MG is in dire need of three points to climb out of the last place in the standings after suffering two consecutive 3–0 losses. Along with Coritiba, it is the team that has allowed the most goals in the league so far.
In fact, America’s struggles in the Brasileirao are compounded by a loss in the Copa Sudamericana, making it three straight defeats, two of which were away from home. It has lost three of its ten matches played this year as visitors, and has conceded goals in eight of those games. It’s unlikely that it will keep a clean sheet in this challenge.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Matheus Cavichioli; Nino Paraíba, Ricardo Silva, Éder Ferreira, Marlon Lopes; Lucas Kal, Emmanuel Martínez; Matheusinho, Juninho, Everaldo; Aloisio.
JefeBet Prediction
Both teams are going through a rough patch, but Santos has been able to secure positive results at home. Besides, the Peixe has not lost at home since November 2022, and it’s unlikely that this streak will end against the weakest team in the Brasileirao. Therefore, at JefeBet, we predict a low-scoring game with the home team celebrating a victory, and the Under (2.5) being fulfilled.
Prediction: Santos Moneyline and Under (SAN 1-0 AME)
