After four games we know a little more about the qualities of Atlético GO and Ceará in this fresh Serie A season. Read our match preview!
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 Atlético and Ceará.
It's quite the trip for Ceará when visiting Atlético as the cities are 2300 kilometers apart.
Atlético GO form and stats
Only two Serie A home games for Atlético GO so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat. In general it's been a long time since Atlético tasted defeat here at Estádio Antônio Accioly, as they have taken at least one point from their last 19 home games in the league.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 257 minutes without scoring a league goal. Jorginho was the last player to find the net.
No payout for Atlético GO in their previous match, an away game at EC Sao Jose that ended in defeat 0-1. A Serie A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Goias.
This is expected to be a close game, with Atlético GO perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Atlético GO as a small favourite), we find six games. Atlético has won three of these, drawn two and lost one.
Atlético GO are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Fluminense awaits in three days.
Early season league goal statistics from Atlético GO's 2 home games: 4 goals, 1 conceded.
Ceará form and stats
It's not happening yet for Ceará on their Serie A travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? With two straight losses from their last two away games, Ceará are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Two travels in a row for Ceará, whose manager A. Ferreira could celebrate last time after the Copa do Brasil win against Vitoria. A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Bahia.
What a finish in the last match, as Ceará came back from being down 0-2 and secured a very satisfying victory through Lima's goal in the 88th minute. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Ceará, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? Things did not look good last match, when Charles got a red card in the 30th minute. They were already behind at this time, but a tremendous finish from Ceará resulted in a win!
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Ceará in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Ceará, two draws and four defeats.
A new game in only three days for Ceará, the Serie A home match versus Fortaleza. Busy days.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Ceará has managed 2 goals and let in 5 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Atlético, three draws and three wins for Ceará. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Top Goalscorers
