Betting on América Futebol Clube MG 2022 Série A games

América Futebol Clube hail from the capital city of Belo Horizonte and, therefore, matches against fellow league rivals of Atlético Mineiro are one of the game’s greatest derby matches – known as O Clássico das Multidões. The match was first played in November 1913, which ended in a 1-1 draw, a mirror of the latest match between the two teams back in August, which finished with the same score line.

Often referred to as América, they are one of the most traditional teams in the Minas Gerais region, having won the state championship an impressive 16 times. The club were promoted to Série A in 2020 when they finished runners-up in Série B in a season thwarted by COVID-19. Currently in mid-table, their hopes of winning an inaugural Série A title will need to wait another season.

However, there is still much to be hopeful about. The club has a strong track record of developing young, talented footballers into world-class players, with names like Gilberto Silva, Fred, Richarlison, and Danilo all having played for América.

Having managed over twenty teams, coach Vagner Mancini returned to the club in April 2022 to replace their previous manager, Marcos Santos, who lasted only one match into the new season. This represents Mancini’s second spell in charge of the club. At the outset of the season, their objective had been to simply stay in the league, but after a series of strong results, their ambitions have grown as they look to secure their spot in the next Libertadores.

To finish strongly, a key player for the club is centre forward Felipe Azevedo. The talisman has already played more times this season for the club than in any previous year and has been a near-ever-present on the team sheet. If Coelho were to achieve their true ambitions, the likes of Azevedo and striker Henrique Almeida would need to find another level to help secure the points needed.
