Team News

Avai FC
America MG
  • Eduardo Barroca will take charge of his first Avai game here.
  • Avai have been busy in the transfer market this week bringing in Matheus Galdezani, Jean Pyerre, Kevin and Dentinho. They could feature here at some stage.
  • Wellington Paulista has been a key figure since joining this year, but will miss the season opener with a calf problem.
  • Berrio is also out, but Carlos Alberto could feature after recovering from an injury.
  • Matheusinho returns to the club after a spell with Beitar Jerusalem. The 24-year old will be eager to pick up from where he left off in 2020.

Prediction

  • Avai are back in Brazil's top flight for the first time in two years. In 2019 they finished 20th and will be hoping for a much better campaign this time around. Their preparations haven't gone to plan, however, after a shock defeat in the Copa do Brasil to Ceilândia, as well as a surprise exit in the Campeonato Catarinense. They will be eager to start their Brasileirão season with a victory in front of their fans.
  • America Mineiro enjoyed a historic season in 2021 by earning a spot in the Copa Libertadores with an eighth-placed finish. Despite being underdogs, America saw off Guaraní and Barcelona SC to reach the Libertadores group stage. However, in their opening group game on Wednesday, they suffered a 2-0 home loss to Independiente del Valle. They will be eager to bounce back here with a victory.
