Internacional and Goias have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Serie A.
It's no vacation for neither Internacional nor Goiás as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Goiás are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Internacional form and stats
Internacional are steadily winning Serie A games and points here at Estadio Beira-Rio. 10 wins, 6 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 17 games.
The points were shared in Internacional's previous game, also at home. Visiting Fortaleza (placed 12th) travelled back with a point after a 2-2 scoreline. A 0-0 draw away before that, with Corinthians the opponent.
There will be little rest for Internacional after this match as they are travelling to Botafogo for a Serie A game in only three days.
The Internacional fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 25 in 17 matches. Internacional are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Beira-Rio in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 12 from 17 matches.
Goiás form and stats
Goiás, who have the most conceded goals (54) in Serie A, have only collected 13 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 3-4-10 (17 played).
Goiás won their last game, 4-3 versus Bahia played at home. Before that, Goiás travelled to Vasco da Gama and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Goiás, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
After this away game Goiás return home for a Serie A game against Fortaleza. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Goiás when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 17 league matches away. Goiás have conceded 35 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Goiás - Internacional 2-1 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 5 - 2 - 3 (Internacional wins - draws - Goiás wins). As for goals, 6 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 4 had two or less.Top Goalscorers
