Brazil Serie A: Goias- Atletico Mineiro
You do not expect too many goals when Goias play at home, with their ten starts this season averaging just 1.7 goals and it was a largely similar story last year. However, the hosts sit just five points above the drop zone and could really do with all three points this evening, Atletico are far more attack minded and only the top two have scored more road goals, but that has only resulted in two wins, with games averaging 2.7 goals, when they do attempt to tighten up at the back it tends to backfire and end in dropped points. They are five points off Copa Libertadores pace and that seems likely to increase tonight, with Corinthians hosting Chapecoense, unless they can collect the win and they are facing a trip to Cruzeiro at the weekend. Therefore, I do expect this to be a little more open than the usual Goias home game.
Hosts are without suspended duo of defensive midfielder Thiago Mendes and Tiago Real (lost all three he has missed), Goias lost 4-1 at Atletico in the absence of Mendes at the end of last season.
Atletico are without forwards Diego Tardelli and Luan, but coach Levir Culpi has spoken about the need to win and his team will take chances for the points, at the back, they are missing central defender Leonardo Silva ( he has missed four away starts in the last 12 months, three defeats and two goals conceded in three of those starts) and key right back Marcos Rocha. The last game both defenders missed was a 3-2 win at Vitoria and it is hard to see how they can win here with a clean sheet.
