  • Ceará have the most matches under the total-line (20) in Serie A

It's quite the trip for Ceará when visiting Atlético GO as the cities are 2300 kilometers apart.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Atlético GO form and stats

5-4-7 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Atlético GO so far this season. When Atlético GO hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Avaí, Goiás, Atlético GO, Coritiba, Juventude and Cuiabá), they have won 3 of 5 matches!

Atlético travelled for their previous game, a trip to Juventude that ended 1-1. Dudu, defender, was given a rating of 7.74/10 in that game, top of the team. Dudu hit two key passes and won 4 of 7 duels.

Before that, Atlético GO drew at home versus Palmeiras.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Atlético GO have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 8 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 4 and lost 2.

Sports bettors, take note: A review of the 10 latest league matches highlights that 8 of them had at least one goal scored by each team.

The manager de Souza will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to São Paulo in only four days.

The Atlético GO fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 16 matches. On the other hand, Atlético have conceded 19 goals.

Ceará form and stats

The visitors are W3-D8-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A. The last three matches for Ceará have all ended in a draw.

Ceará played 1-1 against Cuiabá in their previous match. Pacheco got a match rating of 7.92 in that game, top player of the team. Pacheco hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times and had 35 successful passes (of 38 total).

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Atletico Mineiro that ended 0-0.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Ceará in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Ceará, 6 draws and 5 defeats.

A tale of few goals? 10 of this team's last 12 league rounds have had two or less goals.

The schedule is very tough for Ceará now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie A game at Internacional is waiting in only three days.

The visitors have scored 13 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Ceará are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 13 times in 15 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
