Game week two of the Serie A season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Palmeiras - Goiás preview:
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.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Goiás, who are travelling more than 900 kilometers to play this game.
Palmeiras form and stats
With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Palmeiras.
Palmeiras drew their last game, 1-1 away at Fluminense (placed 14th). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Paulista A1 home game that ended 1-1 versus Corinthians (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties).
Palmeiras are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Athletico PR awaits in four days.
Last season, Palmeiras's league statistics were 6 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, resulting in a 1st position in the Paulista A1. Over these twelve matches they scored 17 goals and conceded 6. Playing at home last season Palmeiras managed 4-2-0 (win-draw-lost) with 11 goals and 3 conceded.
Goiás form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Serie A ended in defeat. Last season Goiás had these away match statistics: Played 5; won 2, drew 2 and lost 1.
There might be some fixture complaints from Goiás as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Serie A match against Athletico PR (1-2). Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Aparecidense.
A quick return to home after this game, as Goiás are hosting Fortaleza in the Serie A only four days away.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Goiás has managed 1 goal and let in 2 from 1 match.
Let's have a look at how Goiás performed last season in the Goiano 1: They landed a 2nd position in the league table after playing out 5 victories, 4 draws and 1 defeat. In total they scored 15 and conceded 10 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 2 and lost 1 with 5/5 goals scored/conceded.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Palmeiras five wins, one draw and Goiás four victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
