Season ticket holders at Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Fortaleza languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting Goiás will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

It's quite the trip for Goiás when visiting Fortaleza as the cities are 2300 kilometers apart.
