It's no vacation for neither Santos 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.

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

Santos form and stats

7 victories, 6 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Santos, who have the fewest clean sheets (1) at home in Serie A, have to build on here at Estádio Urbano Caldeira in the Serie A.

Santos are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Fortaleza. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Botafogo.

Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Jean Mota for missing a penalty kick versus Fortaleza in the 44th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

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

A decent goal production from Santos in their home games so far, with 28 goals from 15 league matches. Santos have conceded 18 in these home matches.

Goiás form and stats

Goiás have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 2-4-9 (15 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Goiás who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Coritiba was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Goiás are looking to quickly end their 330 minutes long goal drought in the Serie A.

Goiás failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Ceará (placed 10th) that ended with defeat 0-4. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-3 defeat against Flamengo.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Ceará was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

The schedule is very tough for Goiás now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Goiano 1 game at Goianesia is waiting in only three days.

The visitors have scored 13 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Goiás have conceded 23 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
