Flamengo form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Flamengo's two home games in the Serie A so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho.
Flamengo are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Athletico PR. Midfielder Everton was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.92 (out of ten) in that game. Everton hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 8 of 10 times.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Flamengo as they are travelling to their away game against Bahia in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.
Early season league goal statistics from Flamengo's 2 home games: {5 goals}, 3 conceded.
Goiás form and stats
No Serie A points yet away for Goiás, from their first 2 matches.
The attacking players of Goiás have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes.
This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Palmeiras with 0-5 on the scoreboard. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Palmeiras was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind. Palacios got a match rating of 6.94 in that game, top player of the team. Palacios hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times.
Before that, the Copa Sudamericana victory away at Gimnasia La Plata.
After this away game Goiás return home for a Serie A game against Botafogo. That game is only four sleeps after this.
{0 goals} so far away for Goiás, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
