Athletico PR are placed 6th, while Goiás are lingering 8 points behind in the league standings. Will they trim the gap?

Insights:
  • Goiás have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It's quite the trip for Goiás when visiting Athletico PR as the cities are 1200 kilometers apart.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Athletico and Goiás.

Athletico PR form and stats

9 victories, 6 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Athletico PR have to build on here at Arena da Baixada in the Serie A.

The followers hope that Athletico PR will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Copa Libertadores fixture against Flamengo.

Preceding that match was the home Serie A game against Palmeiras that was lost 1-3.

Athletico PR are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Internacional awaits in three days.

The Athletico fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 25 in 17 matches. Athletico PR have only conceded 15 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Goiás form and stats

The visitors are W5-D5-L7 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A.

Goiás played 0-0 against Corinthians in their previous match. Midfielder Belmonte was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.35. Belmonte hit the woodwork once, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

One match before, 2-2 at home against Real Noroeste (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties) in the Copa Verde.

A new game in only three days for Goiás, the Serie A home match versus Juventude. Busy days.

Goiás have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 17 league away games 18 goals have been scored. Goiás have conceded 25 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Goiás - Athletico 2-1 was the end result in these teams' last h2h game, earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: five - zero - five (Athletico PR wins - draws - Goiás wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
