America MG team overview
America MG have suffered a huge dip in form this season compared to their eighth-place finish in the 2024 campaign. They have won just 6 of their last three 23 games, suffered the highest number of defeats in the division this season (13), and conceded more goals than any other team.
Alberto Valentim’s team had the chance to end their eight-match winless run when they visited Goiás in the second division last Saturday, but they put in another disappointing performance and lost 1–0. Given that America MG have also lost three of their last four home league games, Tuesday’s match is likely to be another difficult one for fans to watch.
The clash with Avaí will come too soon for forward Rafa Silva and midfielder Alê, who are dealing with thigh and knee injuries, respectively.

Avai FC team overview
AVAÍ have won only two more matches than their hosts so far this season, but they are five places above the relegation zone and have also been hard to beat recently.
The Lion of the Island have avoided defeat in four of their last five matches, winning two and drawing two, while also keeping three clean sheets. With Avai also having avoided defeat in their last three meetings with America — two draws and one win — their fans will be confident that their side can pick up at least one point on Tuesday.

Prediction
While the bookies think America MG are highly likely to win this match, I disagree because the hosts haven't won any of their last six home matches and they are taking on an Avai side that has lost only one of its last five matches. The visitors are also been unbeaten in their last two away games and actually beat America MG the last time the two sides went head to head. All of which leads me to expect a close game that could end in a draw.
Three reasons I expect Avai to pick at least one point from this game
- Avai avoided defeat in four of their last five Serie B matches.
- America MG are winless in their last nine games across all competitions.
- Avai avoided defeat in each of the last three meetings between these two sides.
