It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Atlético GO, who are travelling more than 1500 kilometers to play this game.

The visiting Atlético GO played their last game only three days ago, a Serie A match. That game, against Corinthians, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Atlético GO.

Avaí form and stats

Avaí have collected 22 points from their Serie A home games so far after 6-4-4. When Avaí hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Avaí, Fortaleza, Coritiba, Juventude, Cuiaba and Ceara), they have won 2 of 4 matches!

Avaí faced defeat in their previous match, away at Sao Paulo (0-4). The first loss after going unbeaten in three league fixtures. Avaí were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. The attacker Dyego was declared "man of the match" for Avaí with the rating of 6.85/10. Dyego dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Ahead of that match, Avaí won a home game hosting Atletico Mineiro (1-0).

This is expected to be a close game, with Avaí perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Avaí as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Avaí has won 6 of these, drawn 2 and lost 5.

Low-scoring affair? Looking at this club's last 12 league matches, 9 have had two goals or less.

Avaí are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 14 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Avaí have conceded 17 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Atlético GO form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Atlético GO so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-9 (win-draw-lose). Three has not been a lucky number for Atlético GO as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Coritiba match.

Atlético play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Corinthians (placed 4th). It's a bit troubling for Atlético GO that their keeper Renan managed six saves in the Corinthians match, but still couldn't prevent a loss. Midfielder Rato was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.65. Rato scored one goal and had 28 successful passes (of 33 total).

Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Internacional.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Atlético GO playing away and similar expectations, we found 8 relevant matches. Results were 0 Atlético wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats.

A new game in only four days for Atlético GO, the Serie A home match versus Fluminense. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Atlético as they have only managed to score 11 times from 14 away games in the league.

Head 2 Head

Atlético GO have put together a sequence of 8 consecutive matches without defeat (5-3-0) when facing Avaí.

The two combatants have battled earlier this season: Atlético GO - Avaí 2-1.
