This league campaign has been a rollercoaster for these participants so far, both rise and fall resulting in mid-table positions so far. Let's get ready for Ituano - Atlético GO!

Insights:
  • Ituano have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
  • Atlético GO have the most conceded goals in the second half (15) in Serie B

It's quite the trip for Atlético GO when visiting Ituano as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Ituano form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie B, Ituano have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 5 games.

A strong away win for Ituano against Botafogo SP the last match, as Saraiva and Marcel were on target.

Prior to that, an away loss at Vitoria.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Ituano have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won 11, drawn 1 and lost 2.

A decent goal production from Ituano in their home games so far, with 9 goals from 5 league matches. Ituano are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Municipal Dr. Novelli Júnior in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 5 matches.

Atlético GO form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie B travels is 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Atlético are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Atlético GO have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 180 minutes ago. Lima was the goal scorer.

Atlético GO's previous game was their home loss versus Ceará (0-3). It's a bit worrying for Atlético GO that their goalie Ronaldo managed seven saves in the Ceará match, but still couldn't prevent a beating. Kelvin got a match rating of 7.6 in that game, top player of the team. Kelvin hit five key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 8 times and had 43 successful passes (of 47 total).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Criciuma wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 8 similar matches played by Atlético GO in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Atlético, 4 draws and 2 defeats.

Atlético GO find the net regularly in their away games. 7 goals from 5 away fixtures in the league. The Atlético GO manager Neto has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.
