Key Stats
America Mineiro vs Corinthians Predictions
Although America will be the home side and both lost their first match, we think Corinthians have the superior quality and Serie A experience that America lacks. So we give Corinthians as favourites for this match.
As it is only the second game of the league it is difficult to give goal predictions, but in general, Brazilian football is characterised by attacking and eye-catching football, which is what Brazilian fans like. Taking that style as a reference, we think the match could have more than 2.5 goals total.
