Why Bet on América Mineiro
América Mineiro entered a moment of despair. They are currently 17th in the table and are one of four teams that, right now, are going to the Série B. However, they have 18 points, one less than Cuiabá and Coritiba, so they know that even a draw can take them out of that zone when they are almost halfway through the season.
The team led by Vagner Mancini has 5 wins, 3 draws, and 9 losses, scoring 12 goals and conceding 21. A few days ago, they were celebrating that they had advanced to the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil after beating Botafogo 5-0 in the global, but then they crashed with the reality of the league, where in their last 8 games they lost in 6 opportunities and only obtained 4 points.
It must be remembered that Coelho played an international championship for the first time this year, the Copa Libertadores, where they finished last in their group without being able to win a game and only achieving 2 points.
Why Bet on Palmeiras
The most important thing for Palmeiras now is that they are the leader of the championship. With 33 points so far, they want to win Brasileirão again, which they have not achieved since the 2018 season. However, they have several pursuers very close, so they cannot miss the opportunity of not beating one of the lasts.
In the previous game, they had a very difficult time against Cuiabá, 15th in the tournament, and could only win 1-0, which confirms that they are not at their best moment: in the last 4 league games they tied with Avaí (2 -2) and Fortaleza (0-0), which was last, and fell to Athletico Paranaense (0-2), in addition to the victory against Cuiabá. They also lost on penalties in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil against Sao Paulo after a 2-2 aggregate score. The opposite was the case in the Copa Libertadores, where they humiliated Cerro Porteño of Paraguay 8-0 and now they are waiting for Atlético Mineiro, the second in the championship.
