Atlético GO are ready to set aside the league table before this game vs Santos. Here's all you need to know before the game!

Insights:
  • Atlético GO have the most conceded goals in the first half (30) in Serie A

These teams have little in common geographically as Santos have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Atlético GO form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, Atlético GO have managed 6 wins, 4 draws and suffered 7 defeats from 17 games.

In their previous game, the manager de Souza led his Atlético to a defeat away at São Paulo. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio Antônio Accioly. The first loss after going unbeaten in five league matches. The defeat against São Paulo was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored five minutes into stoppage time (by Luan). Midfield player Baralhas got a match rating of 7.82 in that game, the max score being 10. Baralhas scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 33 successful passes (of 35 total).

Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Ceará.

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 9 games. Atlético GO has won 3 of these, drawn 4 and lost 2.

Some stats: A review of the 12 latest league matches highlights that 9 of them had goals from both teams.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Atlético GO as they are travelling to their away game against Fortaleza in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.

Atlético GO has scored 19 league goals at home this season, in 17 matches. Atlético have conceded 19 in these home matches.

Santos form and stats

There's been little loot from Santos's travels as they have only collected 15 points from 17 away games in the Serie A. Santos only have 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 6 draws.

Santos play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-3 to Flamengo (placed 3rd). Santos goalkeeper Paulo was glad for a splendid day versus Flamengo, but in spite of registering nine saves the loss could not be stopped.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Corinthians.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Santos playing away and similar expectations, we found 12 relevant matches. Results were 2 Santos wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Avaí in just three days.

The attacking power of Santos when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 17 league matches away.
