After defeating Corinthians in the first-leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil, America MG travel to the Neo Quimica Arena with a considerable advantage heading into the reverse clash.
After being starved for success in the Brasileiro, Corinithians have evidently shifted their focus on the domestic cups in recent times. The Brazilian side last won the title in 2017 and since then the Copa do Brasil and Copa Sudamericana have taken greater importance.
And after securing a win in the Copa Sudamericana in midweek, Vanderlei Luxemburgo's side will be looking to produce an upset against a team they haven't won against in their five previous meetings.
Despite holding an advantage America Mineiro don't have a significant piece of silverware to show in their history. And Vagner Mancini would be adamant to rewrite history books and go all the way in the Copa do Brasil.
Mancini's side looked comfortable in the previous meetings between the two sides and with recent records favouring the away side, America MG will be confident of galloping to the next stage of the competition.
