América Mineiro is a club that has not yet been able to win Serie A of the Brazilian Championship, having as the most important title the Series B of the Brazilian Championship, won in 1997 and 2007, in addition to a title of Series C of 2009. In the current season, the team has made a good campaign, above the expected at least, winning 29 of the 69 points played so far, being still close to the relegation zone and distant of the first placed. In the six games that America Mineiro played as host for Serie A of the Brazilian Championship, four of them were scoring less than 1.5 goals in the first half. I believe that in this match, América Mineiro, playing against a team that is recovering and has a good defensive sector, will end up doing another game with few goals.

In his away games for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since in 9 of the last 11 that disputed there were less than 3 goals. In 23 games in this competition, he has never managed to come back on the scoreboard in the 12 games in which he suffered the first goal. There are 1 periods highlighted in the last 11 matches played as a visitor for this competition: he suffered 6 of his 12 goals between the minutes (76'-90 ').

Ceará has never been champion of the Brazilian Serie A Championship, has seven titles of the Ceará Championship, was already champion of the Northeast Cup in 2015, and was also champion of the Ceará Championship of this season of 2018. Ceará, which was the lantern of the Brazilian Championship of Series A of 2018, is now managing to draw a recovery in search of the exit zone of relegation, at this moment the team is a few points of the exit of the zone of relegation. The team has shown strength in their last games, as we have analyzed their last five away games, we see that the team won two, drew one and lost doi, but a standard that we analyzed is that all these games had less than 1.5 goals.

Betting Tip: 

In this game between América Mineiro and Ceará, I believe in a game with less than 1.5 goals in the first half, because America is good in the home and Ceará comes in a moment of recovery, giving much emphasis to their defensive sector, with less than 1.5 goals in his last five away games.
