América Mineiro vs Santos Prediction: Opponents to exchange goals

América Mineiro will take on Santos in round 22 of Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A on August 15 at 00:00 (UTC+3). Let's see how the opponents are doing & what the best bet is. There are several options for you to consider!

América Mineiro is in good condition to play Santos. In their last five games, they have scored three wins: 1-0 over Atlético Goianiense, 3-1 over Avai, and 1-0 over Juventude, with two defeats, 0-1 each at the hands of São Paulo and Palmeiras. As for the team's position in the standings, América MG sits tenth in the Brasileiro standings with 27 points. 

Santos looks somehow sluggish this season. In 21 rounds, the team could earn only 30 points, taking ninth place in the Brazilian Serie A standings. But the visitors are just three points shy of the Copa Libertadores zone. Santos first played two draws in the last three games: 0-0 against Fortaleza and 2-2 against Fluminense, proceeding to defeat Coritiba 2-1. 

América is a slight favorite, but this is at the expense of the home stands. On the whole, the opponents play more or less equal soccer. The position in the table is proof enough, with América sitting tenth and Santos ninth. Based on this, we believe that the opponents will exchange goals at least once.
