America Mineiro welcome Bragantino to Belo Horizonte for their Copa Sudamericana last 16 first leg on Thursday night.

In an all-Brazil clash, the hosts will hope to perform much better than they have done domestically, where they are currently embroiled in a relegation battle.

America's recent form is a big worry despite their thrashing of Colo Colo in the last round.

Mancini will hope that bringing in some of their fringe players could pay off again, but if Bragantino are on their game, they should take a first leg lead back to Sao Paulo.
