Struggling Goiás will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying São Paulo in the upcoming league round. It’s 20th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Insights:
  • Goiás has the the worst goal difference (-13) in Serie A
  • São Paulo has the the best goal difference (+14) in Serie A

Goiás have less rest than São Paulo in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Serie A game only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Gremio.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for São Paulo, who are travelling more than 900 kilometers to play this game.

Goiás form and stats

Goiás, who have the the worst goal difference (-13) in Serie A, have played 11 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-3-5 (wins-draws-losses).

1-1 away at Fortaleza before that.

Tadeu had a busy but productive day in the Gremio match. Despite making eight saves the loss could not be prevented.

There will be little rest for Goiás after this match as they are travelling to Atletico GO for a Serie A game in only four days.

Goiás are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 11 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Goiás defense is not exactly impregnable. 18 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Things are running smoothly for Paulo who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 14 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Atletico Mineiro. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Atletico Mineiro game have they lost an away game, meaning Paulo has taken points from eight away matches in a row.

Two travels in a row for Paulo, whose manager F. Diniz Silva could celebrate last time after the Serie A win against Bahia. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Ceara that ended 1-1.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Sport Recife in just three days.
