Atlético GO and Palmeiras have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Serie A.
The visiting Palmeiras played their last game only four days ago, a Copa Libertadores match.
Palmeiras have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Atlético GO form and stats
2-4-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Atlético GO so far this season.
The spoils were shared in Atlético GO's previous game, also at home. Visiting Atletico PR (placed 17th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. A strong away win before that one, visiting Santos and winning 1-0.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Atlético as they have a new game in only three days, a Copa do Brasil match thankfully also at home. Internacional are visiting.
The Atlético GO fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 12 goals in 8 league matches. Atlético have conceded 11 in these home matches.
Palmeiras form and stats
The visitors are W3-D3-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A. With the Palmeiras losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Palmeiras are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Palmeiras won their last game, 5-0 versus Tigre played at home. A 0-2 defeat away at Fortaleza before that.
As you can tell from the results above, Palmeiras was very dominant against Tigre, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with Gustavo Gómez, Gabriel Veron, Gabriel Menino, Rony and Zé Rafael providing the goals.
The schedule is very tough for Palmeiras now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa do Brasil game at Bragantino is waiting in only four days.
Palmeiras find the net regularly in their away games. 9 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Palmeiras have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Atlético won four games, one match ended with a draw and Palmeiras has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / fourTop Goalscorers
