Atlético Goianiense

DLDLLL 📉

Atlético Goianiense will be hoping to return to winning ways here after a 1-0 Serie A loss in their previous game against São Paulo.

In that game, Atlético Goianiense had 55% possession and 13 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. Sao Paulo got 12 attempts at goal with 7 on target. André Silva (15') was the scorer for São Paulo.

Atlético Goianiense have found it difficult to unlock defences in recent times. Their goals record stands at just 3 versus opponents during their previous six outings. In those meetings, Atlético Goianiense have also seen the number of goals against them come to 10. We shall soon see whether or not that trend can be continued on into this next match.

Their previous form shows that Atlético Goianiense:

• have not registered a win against Internacional in their last 3 matches in the league.
• are without a win at home for the past 10 league games. Something needs to change.

Internacional

LDDDDW

Internacional will go into this clash following a 2-1 Serie A win with the defeat of Juventude in their most recent match.

In that game, Internacional had 48% possession and 21 attempts at goal with 10 on target. For Internacional, goals were scored by Thiago Maia (57') and Bruno Tabata (81'). Juventude had 8 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Nenê (45') was the scorer for Juventude.

For 5 of the prior six clashes featuring Internacional, a relatively low number of goals have been scored between them and their opponents. The overall average goals scored per game in that spell comes out as a mere 2, with the number of goals averaged by Colorado equalling 0.83.

Analysis of their past results shows that Internacional:

• haven't been defeated by Atlético Goianiense in games played away from home for the previous 3 league matches.
• are without an away win for the past 4 matches in the league.

📰 Team News: Atlético Goianiense

It looks as if Dragão should use a 4-2-3-1 system for the game, beginning the first half with Ronaldo, Maguinho, Adriano Martins, Pedro Henrique, Alejo Cruz, Rhaldney, Gonzalo Freitas, Janderson, Shaylon, Luiz Fernando and Derek.

📋 Team News: Internacional

Internacional boss Roger Machado has not got a full squad to pick from. Alan Patrick (Inner ligament stretch of the knee), Rafael Borré (Hamstring injury) and Ivan (Cruciate ligament injury) will not be playing here.

We’re of the thinking that Colorado could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, going with Sergio Rochet, Bruno Gomes, Gabriel Mercado, Vitão, Alexandro Bernabei, Thiago Maia, Bruno Henrique, Wesley, Gabriel Carvalho, Bruno Tabata and Enner Valencia.

💡 Prediction

Our thinking is that Internacional and Atlético Goianiense should both be able to score here although it’s hard to pick a clear winner.

Let’s see how this one goes, but it looks this could be a draw. That is why we are leaning toward a tight encounter, finishing with a 1-1 score draw at the conclusion of the game.
