- Venue: Mineirao (Belo Horizonte)
Gameweek nine of the Brasileiro Serie B sees the bottom-table dwellers meet on Wednesday as America MG host Atletico GO at the Arena Independencia.
The downward spiral for America MG deepened when they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat in a hard-fought contest against Coritiba in their latest Serie B outing, which saw them stuck in 14th position and still anxiously glancing over their shoulders with just a slim cushion above the relegation line.
On the flip side, Atletico GO continued their streak as the draw kings of the campaign after snatching a last-gasp leveller through Sandro Lima to make it 1-1 versus Remo, marking their fifth stalemate and leaving them stuck in 12th place with just 11 points to show for their efforts.
America-MG vs Atletico-GO Betting Tips : UNDER 2.5
Given that just a single point separates these two sides in the standings and with both outfits leaning heavily on their defensive setups, we anticipate a cagey affair dominated by midfield battles and scarce goalmouth action, which could ultimately end in a low-key draw and shared spoils. The sharp downturn in recent results can largely be traced back to their misfiring front line, since William Batista’s squad have drawn a blank in three of their past four Serie B fixtures, and their paltry tally of seven goals leaves them languishing among the league’s most toothless attacks. The 4-2 demolition of Athletic on the opening day of the season appears to be a rare offensive spark for Atletico Mineiro, as they have since struggled to score more than one goal in their last seven league outings, and were shut out in two of their last three road matches. Besides the fact that both teams have struggled to find their shooting boots early in the campaign, recent clashes between these rivals have lacked attacking flair with none of the last four head-to-heads clearing the 2.5-goal line, so we anticipate a cagey showdown where a single moment of quality might be enough to tilt the scales.

America MG team news
Paulinho was forced off in the 58th minute of his side’s 1-0 loss to Coritiba last time out due to discomfort, and if he fails to recover in time, Marlon Lopez is expected to fill in at left-back.
The mentioned defender could be America MG’s only absentee, with head coach William Batista potentially sticking to the same lineup despite recent attacking struggles.

Atletico GO team news
Atletico GO, meanwhile, don't have much to worry about with injuries, as Heron (torn knee ligaments) and Jorginho (achilles tendon problems) are the only ones to remain sidelined.
Despite watching his side dig deep for a dramatic last-gasp 1-1 draw against Remo in the previous Serie B round, boss Claudio Tencati is expected to stick with the same starting eleven.
