Novorizontino host América Mineiro in a Brasileiro Série B meeting, with CheckLive making the home side firm favourites at 71 per cent win probability. The signal is high, but that still leaves room for the visitors. Both sides will see this as a chance to pick up points in a long league campaign.
Novorizontino's recent form is mixed: they drew 0-0 with CRB, lost to Juventude (0-1), beat Londrina 4-1, then lost to Criciúma and Fortaleza (both 0-1). América Mineiro have had a similar rough patch, losing to Athletic Club (1-3) and Botafogo-SP (1-2), beating Goiás 1-0, then losing to Avaí (1-2) and drawing with Ceará (1-1). Neither side arrives carrying much momentum.
The head-to-head is tight: six meetings have produced two Novorizontino wins, three draws and one América Mineiro win. That win came in the most recent meeting, a 3-0 away victory in April. With both teams low on confidence, a draw is a realistic result to keep in mind.
