There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Serie A table so far. Here's the Atlético Mineiro - Goiás latest:
It's no vacation for neither Atlético Mineiro nor Goiás 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.
Goiás have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Overall Serie A stats at home this season for Atlético Mineiro, who have the fewest clean sheets (4) in Serie A, are 7-2-6 (wins-draw-losses).
Atlético Mineiro drew their last game, 2-2 away at Fortaleza (placed 12th). Before that game, the home loss against Chapecoense with the scoreline 0-2.

Atlético Mineiro has scored 22 league goals at home this season, in 15 matches. 21 goals have been conceded.
Goiás form and stats
