On opposite sides of the table, 9th-placed América-MG takes on bottom-placed Guarani, starting at 6:30 pm (Brasília time) this Sunday (8) at the Independência stadium, in Belo Horizonte, for the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship Series B. TV Brazil broadcasts live.
América-MG, which is coming off a defeat to Mirassol in coach Lisca’s debut, wants to win at home to enter the fight for the G4 (qualification zone for access to the Brazilian Série A). If they win, Coelho will reach 38 points, closing in on the competition’s top spot.
“Nobody said it would be easy when I came here, but we will fight hard and believe ball by ball, game by game,” said coach Lisca, making it clear that he believes in promotion. In this game, the team from Minas Gerais will not be able to count on defender Éder, suspended for accumulating yellow cards.
Guarani sees the game as an opportunity to leave the bottom of the table after 17 rounds. To do so, they need to win. The team from Campinas is undefeated in four games, leading the return leg of Série B.
“[O bom momento] “It’s very much about the response that the athletes are giving on the field. From the moment the team consolidates itself with performances and results, we don’t need to keep looking for alternatives”, declared coach Allan Rodrigo Aal, praising Guarani’s starting team.
