America-MG vs Millonarios Prediction: Millonarios Moving Forward Positive and Steady

In the upcoming fixture of Copa Sudamericana, Matchday 5, America-MG will be hosting Millonarios at the Estádio Raimundo Sampaio in Brazil. According to the current Group F standings, Millonarios stands 1st with 3 wins and 10 points, whereas America-MG stands 3rd with a win and just 4 points. The last time these two sides played against each other, the match resulted in a draw (1-1). Considering the unbeaten run of Club Millonarios in Sudamericana outings, the upcoming matchup will be an interesting one for the home side. Continue reading to find out more about the scheduled Sudamericana fixture in Brazil. 

With America-MG coming off an orchestrated win against Corinthians (2-0), the momentum is likely to have the Brazilian club in the driving seat at home. Despite having 30% possession, America-MG did produce 6 shots on target and goals from Danilo Avelar and Renato Marques. Julio Cesar was also spot-on with the timely assist in the 87th minute of play. About the overall match form, America-MG has produced just two wins and three defeats in the last five matches played. In terms of scoring, America-MG has scored and conceded 7 goals, averaging 1.40 goals per game, respectively. With the home team starting with little advantage, it has managed to win two of its last three home matches. 

Millonarios has been performing quite well in the Colombia Categoria A (Quadrangular stage) and the ongoing Copa Sudamericana fixtures. Hence, the Colombian club will be looking forward to at least securing a draw and staying unbeaten. Millonarios is coming off a fantastic win over America de Cali (2-1), in which Millonarios won 63% possession, and Fernando Uribe and Daniel Catano scored goals. About the scoring, Millonarios has scored 9 goals, averaging 1.80 goals per game. In contrast to the scoring average, Millonarios has conceded 4 goals, averaging 0.80 goals per game. Millonarios has secured a win and a draw in its last two away matches. Hence, the pressure of playing away from home against the Brazilian squad isn’t likely to pressurize Alberto Gamero and his players. 

Moving forward in the international contest, Millonarios will be keen to continue its unbeaten run. On the other hand, America-MG will be looking to secure three points and move up the table. However, I am backing Millonarios to secure a draw or win by a margin of a goal or two. Considering the recent scoring form of the two sides, the upcoming matchup is likely to have both teams scoring. Moreover, I predict Leonardo Castro to score a goal at least. 

• Double Chance - Draw or Millonarios for 1.72
• Both Teams to Score - Yes for 1.85
• Both Teams to Score - Yes for 1.85
