Bitesize Prediction: America MG vs Novorizontino – 03/11/25

Competition: Brazil Serie B

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 2/3 @ BetUS

Knowing that they can skyrocket their way into the promotion places, Novorizontino will travel to Minas Gerais late on Monday night when they meet America MG.

Starting with the hosts, while some in America MG’s camp might still be looking over their shoulders at a potential relegation scrap, Alberto Valentim’s side have certainly turned a recent corner. Drawing a line under their three-match winless run last week as they secured an eye-catching 2-0 win away at Athletic Club, the Rabbits should now have their sights set on mounting a late top-half charge. Suffering just a single defeat from their previous six Serie B appearances – a run that stems back to a 1-0 loss against Atletico GO on September 26th – the former Palmeiras coach has also seen his resurgent squad suffer just a pair of defeats since the end of August. Hoping to spring an upset here, Valentim’s camp have gained a reputation for their cagey battles in Minas Gerais. It should also be highlighted, America MG have seen six of their last seven showdowns at the Arena Independencia finish with under 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, although Novorizontino might have been forced to settle for consecutive stalemates against Botafogo and Amazonas over the past fortnight, Umberto Louzer’s side are sat within touching distance of skyrocketing their way back into the promotion spots. Facing what could prove to be a season-defining trip to Minas Gerais late on Monday night, the Tigers have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous 10 consecutive appearances. With that purple patch stemming all the way back to the end of August, the former CRB boss has also seen his squad gain a reputation for their rugged success on the road. Including a 1-0 win against Cuiaba on October 8th, Novorizontino have lost one of their last five showdowns outside of Sao Paulo. Likewise, along with recording back-to-back clean sheets on their travels, the promotion dreamers have also shipped just a sole strike on the road in almost 450 minutes of action.
