Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Atlético GO in 13th and Santos in 11th place.

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 Santos.

Santos 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.

Santos are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Atlético GO form and stats

Atlético GO have played 17 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-8-4 (wins-draws-losses). Atlético has recorded two wins in a row here at Estádio Antônio Accioly, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

Atlético's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Brasiliense. A Serie A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Bragantino.

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 as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Atlético GO has won six of these, drawn four and lost one.

Atlético are traveling soon after this match as the Copa Verde match at Brasiliense awaits in one day.

The Atlético fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 17 matches. Atlético have conceded 19 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Santos form and stats

5-4-8 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Santos in their Serie A matches away.

Santos are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 3-3 draw at Gremio (placed 7th). Prior to that match, the Santos manager A. Stival faced defeat when travelling to Palmeiras and losing 0-1.

The match against Gremio looked like a defeat for Santos, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 3-3. Madson equalized in the 90th minute. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Santos, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? As mentioned above, Santos drew the match against Gremio. Manager A. Stival brought on Madson to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

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 twelve relevant matches. Results were four Santos wins, four draws and four defeats.

The visitors have scored 16 goals from 17 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Santos have conceded 25 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Santos - Atlético 0-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Atlético, three draws and three wins for Santos. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
