America-MG - Searching for a Win Since the Last Five Matches (LDLDL)

With three defeats and two drawn fixtures in the last five matches played across all competitions, America-MG is struggling significantly. America-MG lost to Cruzeiro in the last home fixture, which was certainly a setback. With now limited teams active in Copa do Brasil’s round of 16, the matchups are likely to be of high standards and quality. America-MG hasn’t kept a clean sheet in the last 5 matches, which is why they have struggled and have allowed easy scoring from the other end. In the last two home matches, America-MG has allowed 6 goals and scored just 1. Hence, the hosts will need to minimize the attack on their goalpost from the visitors.
