Having a 3 point lead in the league standings, Goiás fans crave to see their gladiators get max points from this fixture versus Fortaleza.

Insights:
  • Goiás have conceded at least twice as many corners as they have won.
  • Fortaleza have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Fortaleza have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

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 Fortaleza.

Fortaleza form and stats

As the visiting team in Serie A matches, Fortaleza have produced an overall stat of 5-1-8 so far.

Impressive finishing from Rocha (2) and Alexandre secured the home win 3-2 against Flamengo in their previous game. Those three points felt nice as this team had gone three league games without winning. The end of the last match, against Flamengo, was very satisfying as Alexandre scored the winning goal deep into overtime. The attacker Rocha got a match rating of 8.42 in that game. Rocha scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 5 of 5 times.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Juventude that ended 1-1.

Fortaleza have another fixture away in just four nights, a Serie A game vs Atletico PR. A back-breaking timetable for the visiting team!

Fortaleza have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 14 league away games 16 goals have been scored. Fortaleza have conceded 20 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Fortaleza have managed a streak of 5 consecutive matches without losing (3-2-0) when facing Goiás.

Goiás and Fortaleza have met before this season: Fortaleza - Goiás 1-1.
