Season ticket holders at Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Goiás languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting Fluminense will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Goiás and Fluminense.
Fluminense 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
The story so far in the Serie A for Goiás at their home stadium (Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.
The Goiás fans got no joy from their last match, a Serie A game also here at Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro: A 2-3 defeat against Santos (placed 6th). Preceding that game was the away draw at Ceara that finished 2-2.
There will be little rest for Goiás after this match as they are travelling to Atletico Mineiro for a Serie A game in only three days.
A decent goal production from Goiás in their home games so far, with 10 goals from 6 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
Fluminense form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Fluminense so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-4 (win-draw-lose).
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Botafogo (placed 19th) in their previous outing. The Serie A match ended in a draw 1-1. That result followed a home victory 4-0 versus Coritiba.
A quick return to home after this game, as Fluminense are hosting Bahia in the Serie A only four days away.
The attacking power of Fluminense when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Fluminense have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
