America MG is currently in their third consecutive season in Serie A. However, it appears that they are on track to be relegated to the second division of Brazilian football as they currently sit at the bottom of the table with only 12 rounds remaining. They are trailing behind the safety zone by ten points and urgently need to start accumulating points. Their recent form has been poor, having only obtained two points in their last five matches. In their previous game against Fortaleza, America MG suffered a 3-2 defeat on the road. Despite initially having a 2-0 lead in the 23rd minute, they were unable to maintain it and ended up losing once again.

In 2020, Botafogo RJ experienced their lowest point as they finished last in Serie A and were demoted. However, after three years, they find themselves on the verge of clinching their third championship title in the prestigious Brazilian football tournament. Currently, Botafogo RJ holds a promising position with a nine-point lead over Bragantino, who sits in second place. Despite their recent success, Botafogo’s performance has slightly declined, having won just one out of their last six matches across all competitions. Nonetheless, their most recent victory came in their previous game against Fluminense, where they triumphed with a 2-0 scoreline on the away turf.

America MG vs Botafogo RJ: Under 2.5 goals

In their previous encounter this season, Botafogo RJ emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over America MG on their home ground. As a result, it is likely that the upcoming match between America MG and Botafogo RJ will also be characterized by a lack of goals.
