The Brasileiro Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures when America Mineiro and Palmeiras square off at the Estádio Raimundo Sampaio on Sunday.
The Coelho will be looking to end their run of six straight league games without a win and begin their surge from the bottom end of the table.
America Mineiro’s winless run in Serie A extended to six games last Saturday when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Flamengo.
This followed a 5-1 victory over Colo Colo in the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana last-32 clash on July 18 which saw them complete a 6-3 aggregate victory over the Chilean side.
With 10 points from 15 matches, America Mineiro are currently 19th in the Serie A table, just one point above rock-bottom Vasco da Gama.
Palmeiras, on the other hand, returned to winning ways last time out as they edged out Fortaleza 3-1 on home turf.
Prior to that, Abel Ferreira’s men failed to win five consecutive matches, a run which saw them crash out of the Copa do Brasil in the quarter-final courtesy of a 3-1 aggregate loss to Sao Paulo.
With 28 points from 16 matches, Palmeiras are currently fourth in the Serie A table, level on points with third-placed Flamengo.
