With their 4 point advantage in the league table, Atlético GO fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Fortaleza.

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

It's no vacation for neither Atlético GO nor Fortaleza as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

These teams have little in common geographically as Fortaleza have to travel 2300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Atlético GO form and stats

3 victories, 8 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Atlético GO have to build on here at Estádio Antônio Accioly in the Serie A. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

A strong away win for Atlético GO against Botafogo the last match, as Danilo Gomes Magalhaes, Zé Roberto and Vitor Leque were on target. Heartbreak before that as Atlético GO lost 1-3 at Atlético Mineiro's place.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Atlético as they have a new game in only one day, a Copa Verde match thankfully also at home. Sinop are visiting.

Atlético are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 15 games. Atlético's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 18 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Fortaleza form and stats

There's been little loot from Fortaleza's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 15 away games in the Serie A. Fortaleza only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 5 draws. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Fortaleza's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Fortaleza had fun at their own home (Estádio Antônio Accioly) last time out, beating Santos 2-0. Juninho and Wellington Paulista scored. Prior to that match, the Fortaleza manager E. Alves Moreira faced defeat when travelling to Internacional and losing 2-4.

The visitors have scored 14 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Fortaleza have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Fortaleza - Atlético 0-0. Head-2-head stats last seven meetings: four - one - two (Atlético wins - draws - Fortaleza wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
