Barcelona SC vs America Mineiro prediction, preview, team news and more | Copa Libertadores 2022

Barcelona SC host America Mineiro in the decisive second leg fixture of the Copa Libertadores third-round on Tuesday.

The home side have been in great form in the Ecuadorian Serie A, scoring seven goals and conceding just one goal in four games so far. They have a 100% record in the league and will be hoping to replicate their scintillating form here.

The visiting side are winless in their last three league fixtures. They scored three times in the second leg of their second-round fixture against Guarani after failing to find the back of the net in the first leg. They will be hoping to put up a fight here.

Barcelona SC vs America Mineiro Prediction

The hosts head into the game in great form as they are unbeaten in their league fixtures so far. America will be making a long trip to Guayaquil after suffering a 2-1 loss in their previous outing on Sunday and this short period of rest might have an impact on the outcome of the game.

Barcelona are not expected to drop points at home and should eke out a narrow win here.
