Copa Sudamericana betting and spectator preview: Goiás and Gimnasia La Plata meet at Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
Gimnasia La Plata have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
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.
Goiás form and stats
2-0-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Goiás so far this season.
Goiás's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Cuiaba. Goiás's goalkeeper Tadeu was extremely busy against Cuiaba, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning seven saves.
A victory at home before that, as predicted. The team were big favourites against Paysandu and won 2-1.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Goiás, as the Serie A home game vs Fluminense is only three days away.
Goiás are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games.
Gimnasia La Plata form and stats
The visitors are W0-D0-L0 on the road this term. That's in the league.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Gimnasia La Plata, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Union Santa Fe. Enrique, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.42. Enrique won 15 of 18 duels.
A draw for Gimnasia La Plata before that, at their own venue hosting Sarmiento (0-0).Head 2 Head
