National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Atlético GO or Volta Redonda that keep their silverware dream alive.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
It's no vacation for neither Atlético nor Volta Redonda 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.
Atlético GO form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Copa do Brasil for Atlético GO, as the manager de Souza led his troops to eliminate Atletico Alagoinhas, and reach the 2nd Round. Last season, Atlético GO's Copa do Brasil journey ended in the quarter-finals.The story so far in the Serie A for Atlético GO at their home stadium (Estádio Antônio Accioly) is 6 wins, 5 draws and 8 defeats.
Atlético enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Aparecidense's place. The match ended 2-1 with de Barros and Cardozo scoring. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of de Souza when de Barros scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 79th minute.
Before that, Atlético GO had a Goiano 1 home game versus Ipora which ended with a victory 7-1.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Atlético GO have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 5 and lost 4.
The Atlético fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 19 matches. Atlético GO have conceded 23 in these home matches.
Volta Redonda form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Falcon in order to reach 2nd round of Copa do Brasil. Volta Redonda was sent out of Copa do Brasil in the 1st round last season.Redonda had fun at their own home (Estádio Antônio Accioly) last time out, beating Fluminense 2-1.
A 3-3 draw at Boavista's stadium before that.We have checked recent matches where Volta Redonda have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 5 games were 1 victory, 1 draw and 3 defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Volta Redonda manager Correa as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Fluminense.
