Atlético GO form and stats

Atlético GO have played 11 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-7-2 (wins-draws-losses). With eight home Serie A games in a row without a win, the Atlético fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Fluminense game long ago, can be stopped today.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Atlético, as their goalkeeper Fernando Miguel Kaufmann has completely shut out the opponents for 214 minutes in the Serie A.

A good away victory last time out for Atlético GO, who won 3-0 against Fortaleza (placed 4th). Fernando Miguel, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.25 out of 10 in that game. Miguel stopped the opponent with four saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that, Atlético drew at home versus Cuiaba.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Athletico PR, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Flamengo (placed 3rd).
