- Goiás have the fewest conceded goals (9) in Serie B
- Guarani have the most scored goals (27) in Serie B
It's no vacation for neither Goiás nor Guarani 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.
Guarani have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Coritiba that finished 1-1.Goiás has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. Goiás have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.

Guarani form and stats
4-3-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Guarani in their Serie B matches away.
The Guarani goalkeeper Gabriel Jose Ferreira Mesquita is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 184 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
It's the second away game in a row for Guarani, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Avai (placed 7th) in the Serie B last time out. Matheus Bidu, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.14. Bidu hit three key passes and won 7 of 13 duels. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager D. Pollo Barioni when Allanzinho scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 69th minute. Late drama in the previous game, when Allanzinho scored the winning goal six minutes into stoppage time to defeat Avai.
A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Brasil de Pelotas.The Guarani manager D. Pollo Barioni has got the team scoring on the road, with 16 away goals in 8 league matches. As opposed to that, Guarani have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
