Serie A: Goiás are 7 points behind Fortaleza, but are motivated to go all in. Get this show on the road!
- Goiás have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Fortaleza have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
These teams have little in common geographically as Fortaleza have to travel 2300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It's no vacation for neither Goiás nor Fortaleza as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Goiás form and stats
Goiás have collected 9 points from their Serie A home games so far after 2-3-3. Two draws in a row at home now for Goiás.
The followers are hoping that Goiás will strike back in this game, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Copa Sudamericana fixture against Estudiantes.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Gremio that ended 1-1.Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Estudiantes are coming to town in four days.
Goiás are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 8 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Goiás defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Fortaleza form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Fortaleza so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-4 (win-draw-lose). Three has not been a lucky number for Fortaleza as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Athletico PR match.
Two away games in a row for Fortaleza, whose boss Vojvoda could celebrate last time after the Copa Sudamericana win against Libertad.
The game before that, in the Serie A, was lost at home, a 0-3 defeat against Bragantino.Stats flash: 8 of the last 10 league fixtures involving this club have had only one (or no) side scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting).
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Libertad in just three days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Fortaleza as they have only managed to score 7 times from 8 away games in the league. 10 goals have been conceded by Fortaleza in these games. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
