Betting on America Futebol Clube
America MG stumbled out of the gate in the Brasileirao season, since the team lost four out of the first five matches. However, in the last game, Vágner Mancini’s team managed to secure its first point with a 2-2 draw against Bragantino on the road.
Now, America MG will try to capitalize on its home field advantage at the Raimundo Sampaio in a derby that defies all statistics. In fact, a win against one of its historical rivals would be ideal to redeem its poor start to the season.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Mateus Pasinato; Marcinho, Ricardo Silva, Eder, Nicolas; Alê, Juninho, Martín Benítez; Everaldo, Felipe Azevedo, Aloísio.
Betting on Cruzeiro Esporte Clube
On the other hand, Cruzeiro is heading into another edition of the Minas Gerais derby with the goal of continuing to shine in its good moment after returning to the Brasileirao. In its first five challenges, Cruzeiro has won three matches, placing the team in fifth position in the Brasileirao standings with 9 points.
However, despite its remarkable start, the team coached by Portuguese head coach Pepa has also suffered two defeats in the current season. Actually, the latest of these setbacks occurred last Wednesday, with a 0-2 loss at home against the feared Fluminense.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Rafael; William, Oliveira, Luciano Castan, Marlon; Machado, Neto; Wesley, Mateus Vital, Bruno Rodrigues; Gilberto.
JefeBet Prediction
We understand that derbies are isolated clashes, far from any statistics and numbers. However, from our perspective, we cannot help but mention the good moment that Cruzeiro is going through in the lead-up to this electrifying encounter. The light-blue team prevails over America MG in the goal difference by a record of +2 as opposed to -8 of its opponent.
Moreover, it is also worth noting that the home team is the squad with the most goals conceded in the Brasileirao so far, with 13. That’s why, at JefeBet, we predict a visitor’s success in the upcoming America MG vs Cruzeiro exhilarating clash.
Prediction: Cruzeiro Moneyline (AMG 0-2 CRU).
