Yet another exciting fixture in the Serie A. Goiás is in the 14th position after playing three matches. They host Palmeiras who are placed 3rd after three fixtures.
Palmeiras have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
