An important duel in the bottom section of the Serie A, with both Goiás and Athletico PR experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 20th and the visitors in 17th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
It's quite the trip for Athletico PR when visiting Goiás as the cities are 1200 kilometers apart.
Goiás form and stats
With 2 Serie A wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Goiás, who have the most conceded goals (33) in Serie A, are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
In their previous game, the manager E. Alves Moreira led his Goiás to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Sao Paulo. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. In the match before that, Goiás hosted Vasco da Gama and drew the game 1-1.
Goiás's goalkeeper Tadeu was extremely busy against Sao Paulo, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning seven saves.
Goiás have proved capable of finding the net in their games here with 14 goals in 9 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.
Athletico PR form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Athletico PR, who have the fewest scored goals (15) in Serie A, so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-6 (win-draw-lose).
Renato Kayzer and Carlos Eduardo scored in Athletico PR's previous match, the home game against Fortaleza that ended 2-1. Prior to that match, the Athletico manager P. Autuori de Mello faced defeat when travelling to Flamengo and losing 2-3.
The end of the last match, against Fortaleza, was very satisfying as Renato Kayzer scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Athletico have conceded 12 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
