América-MG x Athletico: where to watch, lineups and refereeing

Two of the biggest disappointments so far in Série B, América Mineiro and Athletico face each other at the end of the first round of the competition. The duel takes place early this Saturday evening (27), at 6:30 pm, at Independência, in Belo Horizonte.
Coelho has lost its last four games and sits in 15th place with 20 points. Furacão, meanwhile, has not won its last three games in the competition and sits in tenth place with 24 points.
The match will be broadcast on the Disney+ streaming system.
How America arrivesCoelho is facing a period of intense pressure in the competition. After losing their last four games, América could end the round in the relegation zone if they lose at home. Enderson Moreira, who has won two matches so far as the team's manager, had his name linked to a possible dismissal rumor this week. While he remains in the position, the coach will not be able to sit on the bench, having been sent off against Cuiabá. Furthermore, the team will be without midfielders Kauã Diniz and Barros, who are suspended, and there are still doubts regarding Felipe Amaral, who suffered a muscle injury.
How Athletico arrivesRubro-Negro aims to finish the first half of the season with a better image than it has so far in the competition. Winless in three matches, Furacão is trying to get closer to the top four and avoid the relegation zone. For the match in Belo Horizonte, Odair Hellmann will be without Raul, who suffered a muscle injury. On the other hand, the coach will have the return of Lucas Esquivel, who is returning from suspension.
