On August 22, Estádio da Serrinha (Goiania) will host the match of the 17th round of the Brazilian Serie A, in which Goias will compete with Atletico Paranaense. The battle will start at 01:00 CET.

Goias

The club once “climbed” into the final of the national Cup (1990) and even the Copa Sudamericana (2010). Generally speaking, it dominates in the championship of its state, but the maximum of opportunities, especially in recent years, is the struggle for survival. Having returned once again from the Serie B, “the Parrots” took the 13th place in the previous draw of the Brasileiro. They even took part in the Copa Sudamericana, however, having overcome the group stage undefeated (4 wins and 2 draws), then the team “fell under the pressure” of Estudiantes, eventually conceding from the experienced Argentine opponent 5 unanswered goals in 2 matches. It also lost a little bit its position at the inner arena. Still, there happened a 5-match unbeaten streak and that breakthrough finally allowed leaving the relegation zone, simultaneously dropping Santos there.

Atletico Paranaense

The team is not particularly successful at the inner arena. To be more precise, it is more successful at the international one, where the club won again the Copa Sudamericana in 2021 and was the finalist of the Copa Libertadores a year later, in the previous season. For comparison, “the Red and Blacks” were only in the 6th place in the Serie A in 2022. However, now there is a rollback everywhere. For instance, the team lost in the Copa do Brasil to Flamengo in July. Speaking about the Copa Libertadores, already at the 1/8 stage, it beat Bolivar with a 2-0 score at the home arena after an away 1-3 defeat, but was eliminated on penalties. And there are too many misfires in the Brasileiro. There were effective draws in the battles against Cruzeiro and Santos at the junction of July and August, and only Cuiaba was beaten with the 2-0 score on the native field.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Taking into account 5 of 6 previous head-to-head matches, Atletico Paranaense took the victories. Those successes include a 2-0 one in the current Brazilian Serie A draw.

Predictions

Bookmakers believe that both opponents have an equal chance of success. It is reasonable to mention that both the hosts and the guests are in good shape – thus, we use a neutral bet on “total: over 2.0” (odd: 1.82).
