America MG vs Cuiaba Predictions

• America Mineiro have lost their first three games of the season and have yet to score.
• Cuiaba have just one point from their opening two fixtures and failed to strike in a 1-0 defeat at Fluminense last time out.
• Just one goal was scored across both Serie B meetings between the teams last term.

Hosts to draw another blank in Belo Horizonte

Just one goal was netted across both Serie B meetings between these sides last season and we should be set for another scrappy affair in Belo Horizonte this week based on how the teams have started the new campaign.

With America Mineiro pointless and goalless after three games, a case can certainly be made for Cuiaba here at the prices, with the visitors at least managing a 2-2 draw against Juventude on the opening day before a slender 1-0 defeat at Fluminense last time out.

The hosts are rock bottom and undoubtedly in some disarray following manager Lisca’s resignation this week, though the imminent arrival of a new coach could spark an improved display from Coelho.

Overall, under 2.5 goals stands out as the safest wager based on Mineiro’s recent failings in front of goal and both teams are likely to adopt a cautious approach as they aim to put points on the board.

The pair’s two dour Serie B meetings last season (0-0 and 0-1) also indicate that there won’t be much between the teams and the points may well be settled by the odd goal.

We think this contest will be extremely tight and could easily go either way, but we’re marginally favouring the visitors in the correct score market to repeat the 0-1 success which they secured at this venue in 2020.
