Betting on America MG
América MG has not started the Brasileirão, however, the team has had a great performance in the Mineiro Championship, a state competition that gathers 16 clubs from Minas Gerais, and that is played before the league starts. The Conejo reached the final, the second leg of which will be played next Saturday against Atlético Mineiro.
This America MG vs Penarol clash will undoubtedly be one of the most difficult to play for the Brazilian club in its group. The Copa Sudamericana 2023 is the team’s first opportunity to fight for this trophy. Last year, the team played in the Copa Libertadores and finished last in Group D after failing to win a single match.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Matheus Cavichioli; Arthur, Iago Maidana, Ricardo Silva, Nicolás; Juninho, Alê, Benitez; Felipe Azevedo, Mauthesinho, Aloísio.
Betting on Peñarol
The Uruguayan team arrives to the America MG vs Penarol match full of history and hierarchy. However, it has not yet been champion of this competition.
At home, the Aurinegros have been performing exceptionally well, currently sitting atop the Uruguayan first division after winning six out of nine matches played. In their most recent showdown against Nacional, the team delivered a stunning display of soccer and emerged victorious with a 2-0 score with goals of Kevin Méndez and Ignacio Laquintana.
In its Copa Sudamericana debut, the visiting team is expected to win using its offense, which has managed to score 16 goals in the first matchdays of the Charrúa tournament.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Thiago Cardozo; Pedro Milans, Hernán Menosse, Leo Coelho, Valentín Rodríguez; Sebastián Cristóforo, Santiago Homenchenko, Ignacio Laquintana, Sebastián Rodríguez; Kevin Méndez, Matías Arezo.
JefeBet Prediction
Considering the way in which both teams have been performing recently, at JefeBet we believe that neither team will win this America MG vs Penarol clash.
Both clubs are going through very good times in their respective competitions, and although Peñarol has more international experience, América has just played a great game against Atlético Mineiro, and the team’s lineup will probably be similar to the one it used during that match.
Prediction: Draw (AME 2-2 PEN).
