Flamengo vs America MG Predictions

• America Mineiro have the worst away record in Serie A
• The visitors have scored in 71% of their league trips this term
• Flamengo have scored in 100% of their home league games this season

Can visitors bridge the gap?

America Mineiro head to Flamengo this weekend with a huge gap between the two sides. The visitors are bottom of Serie A, while the hosts are flying high in second place. Not only that, but the visitors have the worst away record in the top-flight.

For Flamengo, there’s little hope of them closing the 12 point gap between them and leaders Botafogo. However, they’re on course for a huge improvement on last season’s fifth-placed finish, while the visitors have dropped like a stone from their top-half finish last season.

America Mineiro pack a punch

For all the visitors’ struggles, they head into this clash having maintained an impressive scoring record in the league this term. They’ve scored in six straight league games heading into this trip, but their defensive record keeps letting them down.

The away side have scored in 71% of their trips this term, but they’ve yet to keep a clean sheet on the road. That’s unlikely to change at a Flamengo side who have scored in 100% of their home games, but the visitors’ good defensive record could be in trouble given how clinical the strugglers have been.
