It's time for Fortaleza - Atlético GO! Despite a mixed bag of results so far, this game should be a riot!

Insights:
  • Atlético GO have the most conceded goals in the first half (31) in Serie A

Atlético GO have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It's no vacation for neither Fortaleza nor Atlético GO 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.

Fortaleza form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, Fortaleza have managed 6 wins, 7 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 17 games.

Fortaleza are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Palmeiras. Until that loss this team had gone eight consecutive league meetings without being beaten. As you see from the result above, Fortaleza suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Midfield player Sasha got a match rating of 7.85 in that game, the max score being 10. Sasha hit one key pass and had 25 successful passes (of 29 total).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Coritiba in a game that was won 3-1.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Fortaleza matches with similar probabilities have ended with 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat (from 4 games).

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Bragantino in only three days. This game is also played here at Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo.

From these home matches, Fortaleza have conceded only 12 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Atlético GO form and stats

Atlético GO have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 2-5-10 (17 played).

This game can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus Santos with 2-3 on the scoreboard. Late heartbreak for Atlético in the Santos match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime. The attacker Churin got a match rating of 8.12 in that game. Churin scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sao Paulo wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Atlético GO playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 1 away win, 1 draw and 2 home wins.

Sports betting fact: Both sides have scored at least once in 8 of this club's latest 10 league games.

A new game in only three days for Atlético, the Serie A home match versus Atletico PR. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Atlético GO as they have only managed to score 15 times from 17 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Atlético GO have conceded 32 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

These sides faced each other earlier this season: Atlético GO - Fortaleza 0-1. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - two - six (Fortaleza wins - draws - Atlético GO wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
