ATLETICO PR v AMERICA MINEIRO
Saturday 2nd July 2016 – Kickoff: 1830hrs
Football – Brazil – Serie A Betting Tips
Atletico PR find themselves in a very similar position to the aforementioned Fluminense as they lost last time out in a disappointing 1-0 defeat away at Coritiba, but they have an excellent opportunity to bounce back on Saturday evening when they take on bottom club America.
Prior to that defeat, Atletico had put together a three-match unbeaten run with wins registered over sixth placed Santos and third placed Gremio along with a draw against Chapecoense, so confidence will still be high for the hosts here, particularly when you consider they’ve won four of their first five home games.
Wins over Figueirense and Santa Cruz as well as the aforementioned two victories on home turf have been impressive within an overall home record of 4-1-0 7/2, and they’re unbeaten in their last eight at their Estádio Joaquim Américo.
Visitors America Mineiro sit bottom of Serie A with just 8 points to their name having lost five of their last six matches overall in the Brazilian top flight. The away side are also on a three-match losing streak following defeats to Palmeiras, Atletico Mineiro and Corinthians (all to nil I might add).
America have also picked up just one point on their travels so far this season which was a 1-1 draw with bottom half club Cruzeiro, but defeats at Chapecoense, Internacional, Botafogo and Palmeiras prove they are struggling to keep up at this level at the moment.
America possess a poor away record of 0-1-4 4/12 with only Chapecoense and Botafogo conceding more goals than them away from home in the division to date.
