America Mineiro have finally registered a win on their return to the Brazilian Serie A and they’ll be looking to make it two straight when they host giants Santos on Match Day 9 of the league. Going to this game, America, placed 16th, have six points, while fifth placed Santos have 12 points. America showed their attacking prowess in their last game but were still weak defensively as they beat Bahia 4-3. This was their fourth straight game without a clean sheet and though they’ve managed just one clean sheet in the league so far, they’ve really improved, with just one loss in their last five matches. They are still in search of an opening home win; they’ve drawn each of the last three after losing the first.

Santos have blown hot and cold so far this season, with three wins only in the opening eight league matches. Still they have a better run than America Mineiro and go to this game unbeaten in the last four matches. In those four matches, they have two wins and as many draws while they have kept three clean sheets and in three of them they’ve scored two goals. They are coming from a 0-0 draw with 15th placed Sport Recife and will be disappointed at having dropped points in that game. That draw marked the fourth time in the opening eight matches that they’ve failed to score. In all the other four matches that they’ve managed two score, it has been two goals or more.
