CRB
DLWLWL
CRB will be hoping to bounce back here after a 1-0 Serie B losing effort in their last game against Ferroviária.
In that game, CRB managed 69% possession and 19 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. For their opponents, Ferroviária got 10 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target.
Their more recent scorelines show that it has been a great time for the CRB backline. CRB have been stingy, with the tally of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their past six outings standing at 4.
Taking a look at their past results, CRB:
- haven't been defeated by América Mineiro in home games against them for the last 2 league games.
- haven't been defeated in their previous 7 league matches at home.
América Mineiro
LWLLWD
In their previous fixture, América Mineiro drew 1-1 in the Serie B tie with Criciuma.
In that game, América Mineiro managed 60% possession and 15 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. On the other side, Criciuma got 9 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. Robert (25') was the scorer for Criciuma.
The numbers tell their own story, and América Mineiro have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 6 goals overall. In defence, América Mineiro have some weaknesses to address. That pattern might not be carried forward into this game, of course.

Head to head
A look at their prior head-to-head meetings going back to 08/06/2019 tells us that CRB have won 1 of these & América Mineiro 4, with the tally of drawn games being 1.
A combined sum of 12 goals were produced between them in this period, with 4 of them from Galo and 8 created by Coelho. That’s an average goals per game of 2.
The last league contest featuring these clubs was Serie B match day 29 on 29/09/2024 when the final score was CRB 2-1 América Mineiro.
In that match, CRB managed 52% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 7 on target. The scorer was Pereira (5', 69').
On the other side, América Mineiro had 5 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Rodriguinho (16') scored.

Prediction
Our thinking is that América Mineiro may well find it hard to score against this CRB team who we reckon should win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.
We therefore see a hard-fought 1-0 winning margin for CRB when all is said and done.
Looking forward to this.
