Goiás form and stats

8 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Goiás have to build on here at Serra Dourada in the Serie A. Goiás have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

The home supporters saw a 2-2 draw versus Flamengo in the Serie A last time out and are looking for a win here. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Athletico PR (1-4).

There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Flamengo as Michael's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a point.

Goiás are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Atlético Mineiro awaits in three days.

A decent goal production from Goiás in their home games so far, with 21 goals from 14 league matches. From these home matches, Goiás have conceded only 13 goals.

Avaí form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Avaí, who have the fewest scored goals (15) in Serie A, so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-11 (win-draw-lose). With the Avaí losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Bitter travels for Avaí as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Athletico PR match.

Avaí failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Fortaleza (placed 12th) that ended with defeat 1-3. A loss against Palmeiras was the result prior to that, in a home game.

A quick return to home after this game, as Avaí are hosting Santos in the Serie A only three days away.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Avaí's away games in the league this season with only 7 goals from 14 matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Avaí have conceded 25 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
