America Mineiro take on the visitors Palmeiras in the round 18 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, July 22th at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio (Belo Horizonte).
America Mineiro traditionally fight for survival. The "Rabbits" at the beginning of the century and did 4 seasons in a row played at the 3rd level of Brazilian football. They have never sagged so much again. But before the current cycle, it was not possible to climb into Serie A for more than a year. Against this background, the 8th place in Brasileirao 2021 was an incredible breakthrough. Reward was the right to play in the Copa Libertadores. But there the Brazilians limited themselves to performances in the group stage. And in the championship results were not the best. But even here it turned out to add to the middle of summer. This was especially evident in the cup, where Botafogo was beaten twice, 3-0 and 2-0. And unexpectedly it was followed by a devastating 0-3 at home with struggling Red Bull Bragantino!

Palmeiras plays inconsistently in summer. The "Piglets" have already taken off from one tournament. They lost to Sao Paulo in domestic Cup (after 0-1 on the road, they scored twice by the 13th minute, but then conceded, and eventually lost in the penalty shootout). Of course, there are successes, especially in the Copa Libertadores. Having won in both past draws of the main continental tournament, Abel Ferreira's wards are now showing a 100% result now. And not only in the group round - the Brazilians played the first round of the playoffs again solidly, 3-0 on the road and 5-0 at home with Serra Porteno. In Serie A, Palmeiras were in the lead for a long time, but at the same time they misfired, and more and more often over time. However, at the very least, having beaten Cuiaba 1-0, it turned out to keep the 1st place.
Palmeiras had a streak of 10 meetings without defeat in a row. In this segment, it was won 6 times, including twice in a row at the end of 2020 - the beginning of 2021. But in October, the Rabbits were finally able to win at home. America Mineiro may surprise, but Palmeiras have more trump cards. We bet on the victory of the guests in a duel.
Prediction for the match: Palmeiras to win.
