Corinthians - Goiás. 2nd position hosts 16th position. Nothing is certain - get a broad preview here!

Insights:
  • Corinthians have the fewest matches over the total-line (0) in Serie A
  • Goiás have the most points from losing position (7) in Serie A

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

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 Corinthians and Goiás.

Goiás form and stats

The visitors are W2-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A.

Goiás failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Internacional (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 1-2. It is not a good sign for Goiás that their keeper Tadeu pulled off six saves in the Internacional game, but still were unable to stop a defeat. Silva was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 8.03. The defender Silva scored one goal and won 4 of 4 duels.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Ceara.

The schedule is very tough for Goiás now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa do Brasil game at Atlético GO is waiting in only three days.

As for defending, Goiás rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 9 goals from these away matches.
