Which team will claim the points when Atlético GO travel to Fluminense? In this pre-match guide you'll learn all the relevant info and data needed to make a prediction.

Insights:
  • Atlético GO have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

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 Fluminense and Atlético GO.

Atlético GO have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Fluminense form and stats

5 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Fluminense have to build on here at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho in the Serie A.

The Fluminense crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Fortaleza here at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho in a Serie A match. Defender Danilo Barcelos got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.45/10. Barcelos hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass and won 7 of 9 duels.

Ahead of that match, Fluminense won a home game hosting Bragantino (2-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Fluminense have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won six times, drawn two and lost one.

Fluminense are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Corinthians awaits in four days.

Fluminense are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 12 games. On the other hand, Fluminense have conceded 12 goals.

Atlético GO form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 5 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie A home defeat versus Athletico PR with 0-2 on the scoreboard. The attacker Zé Roberto got a match rating of 7.13 in that game. Roberto hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 24 successful passes (of 30 total).

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Fortaleza at their stadium, the result 3-0.

We have checked recent matches where Atlético GO have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 15 games were nine victories, zero draws and six defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Atlético now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie A game at Bragantino is waiting in only three days.

Atlético are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 13 away goals from 11 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Atlético have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The two combatants have played previously this season: Atlético GO - Fluminense 1-0. Statistics for the previous ten meetings featuring these two contenders are: four wins for Fluminense, two draws and four wins for Atlético GO. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
