A trophy cabinet can never have too much silverware and both Goiás and Atlético GO know what's at stake in this second leg of the Copa do Brasil Round of 16 clash.
This is a battle between neighbours, usually meaning extra motivation and significance.
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.
Goiás form and stats
Goiás participated in Copa do Brasil the last season, where they reached the 1st round.Goiás have collected 13 points from their Serie A home games so far after 3-4-1.
A nice win for Goiás last time playing, versus Athletico PR. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Raúl and Nicolas scoring for the victors. Nicolas, who plays in attack, was the champion performer for the side in that game, earning a rating of 8.84 (out of 10). Nicolas scored one goal, served one assist and hit two key passes.
Heartbreak before that as Goiás lost 0-1 at America Mineiro's place.The manager Ventura will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Juventude in only four days.
Goiás are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 8 games.
Atlético GO form and stats
Atlético was sent out of Copa do Brasil in the 8th finals last season.Atlético GO have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 1-3-4 (8 played).
There might be some fixture complaints from Atlético GO as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 0-1 against Santos. Midfielder Baralhas was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.12. Baralhas hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 4 times and had 41 successful passes (of 45 total).
A quick return to home after this game, as Atlético are hosting Fortaleza in the Serie A only four days away.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Atlético GO as they have only managed to score 7 times from 8 away games in the league. Atlético GO's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 14 goals from these trips.
