Struggling Goiás will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Internacional in the upcoming league round. It’s 20th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
The hosts Goiás saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Serie A. Thankfully the previous game, versus Coritiba, was also a home game here at Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro. The away team is better rested.
Internacional have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Goiás form and stats
1-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Goiás, who have the most conceded goals (8) at home in Serie A, so far this season.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Goiás, who played 3-3 against Coritiba. That match was also played at this venue (Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro). Prior to that, an away loss at Sport Recife.
Late drama in the game against Coritiba as Goiás were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until Sabino popped out and made it level in the 83rd minute. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The Goiás fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 7 goals in 4 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Goiás with 8 goals conceded in these matches.
Internacional form and stats
Playing away, Internacional, who have the most clean sheets (5) in Serie A, have won 2 games, drawn 1 and suffered 1 defeat in the Serie A this season.
Internacional's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Bahia that finished 2-2. Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Palmeiras.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Internacional have scored 5 goals in 4 league games away. It's not easy to score on Internacional as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Goiás four wins, one draw and Internacional five victories. As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
