The league table is allowed to rest as Atlético GO and Corinthians battle for Copa do Brasil honors in this first Quarter-finals leg of two fixtures.
Corinthians have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Atlético GO form and stats
Last season, Atlético GO's Copa do Brasil journey ended in the 8th finals.When playing at home in the Serie A, Atlético GO have managed 3 wins, 2 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 10 games.
The Atlético regulars got no joy from their last match, also played here at Estádio Antônio Accioly: A 0-1 defeat against América Mineiro. Midfielder Jorginho was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.03 (out of ten) in that game. Jorginho hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 5 of 5 times.
Prior to that, an away loss at Athletico PR in the Serie A.This is expected to be a close game, with Atlético GO perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Atlético GO as a small favourite), we find 10 games. Atlético GO has won 3 of these, drawn 5 and lost 2.
There will be little rest for Atlético GO after this match as they are travelling to Flamengo for a Serie A game in only three days.
