America Mineiro, Recent FormAmérica will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 home win against São Paulo. In that game they had 26% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to São Paulo who had 13 attempts and 5 on target.
Having lost 13 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Fabián Bustos will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 6 goals they scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table. They have certainly suffered from some poor form this season, having lost 13 matches from 20 in the league.
Santos, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by Atlético Mineiro will have left the Santos squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 44%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 0 of which were on target. Atlético Mineiro had 15 shots on goal with 6 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Diego Aguirre will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have been unable to score away from home in 5 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to record a clean sheet in their last 11 games overall.
Santos will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 5 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 7 games.
On an individual basis, Marcos Leonardo will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Santos' last 6 league games.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 3-2 win for Santos.
When playing away from home in the league, Peixe have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 5 matches against América. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio, Peixe have been unable to break through the América defence and find the back of the net.
Santos has a very poor track record against América when playing away from home in the league, losing the last 4 times they have met at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio.
América manager Fabián Bustos has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Adyson do Nascimento Soares (Ankle), Aloísio dos Santos (Thigh) and Ricardo Silva (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With both Felipe Jonatan (Cruciate ligament) and Sandry Santos Goes (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Alison Lopes Ferreira (Knee) also unavailable in the shorter term, Santos manager Diego Aguirre will be relieved to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
