Palmeiras perform at a high level so far being 3rd in the table. Goiás can look both up and down from their 10th position.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Palmeiras and Goiás.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Palmeiras are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Goiás is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

Palmeiras has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Mano Menezes and the players.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Palmeiras as they are travelling to their away game against Cruzeiro in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.
