Competition: Brazil Serie A

Match begins: 23:00 (UTC)
Venue: Estádio José Pinheiro Borda (51300 seats)

Closing in on the top sides is the target when these mid-table sides meet. Both are aiming to improve their league position, Internacional in 10th and Atlético GO in 11th spot.

Insights:
  • Internacional have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Atlético GO have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Atlético GO could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Serie A game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Chapecoense, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Atlético GO.

It's quite the trip for Atlético GO when visiting Internacional as the cities are 2000 kilometers apart.

Atlético are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Internacional form and stats

8-6-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Internacional so far this season.

Atlético GO form and stats

As the visiting team in Serie A matches, Atlético GO have produced an overall stat of 6-4-8 so far.

Atlético play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Chapecoense (placed 20th). Oliveira was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.6. The defender Oliveira won 5 of 9 duels.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Bahia.

Atlético GO are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is seven wins, one draw and five defeats. From a total of 13 matches.

A new game in only three days for Atlético, the Serie A home match versus Flamengo. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Atlético GO as they have only managed to score 14 times from 18 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Atlético have conceded 21 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

It's not the first time these sides face each other this campaign, as the results database show this recent match: Atlético GO - Internacional 0-0. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: five - four - one (Internacional wins - draws - Atlético GO wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
