Struggling Goiás will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Flamengo in the upcoming league round. It’s 18th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Insights:
  • Goiás has the most dropped points from leading position (23) in Serie A

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.

Flamengo 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.

Goiás form and stats

Goiás have played 14 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-4-6 (wins-draws-losses).

The Goiás fans got no joy from their last match, a Goiano 1 game also here at Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro: A 0-1 defeat against Atlético GO (placed 12th). A Serie A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Internacional.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Goiás, as the Serie A home game vs Ceara is only three days away.

The Goiás fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 14 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Goiás defense is not exactly impregnable. 21 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

After this away game Flamengo return home for a Serie A game against Palmeiras. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Flamengo are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 20 times in 13 away games so far. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Flamengo have conceded 18 goals in these away matches.
