Atletico Goianiense v Corinthians

Atletico GO vs Corinthians Preview

Atletico GO and Corinthians meet at the Estádio Antônio Accioly in what could be termed as an early relegation battle in the Brazilian top flight as Atletico GO currently occupy third from bottom in the Serie A table, while Corinthians are just one league position and one point above their upcoming hosts ahead of this important tussle.

It's been a miserable start to this new Brazilian Serie A season for both sides and Atletico GO head into this clash on the back of a disappointing 1-0 defeat away from home at Juventude, while Corinthians also slipped to a 1-0 loss but it was on home soil to Botafogo.

Returning to the hosts, Atletico GO have managed to collect just one win so far in their opening seven games of this new campaign which came in the form of a 2-0 win away from home at Vitoria but Jair Ventura's side have already been handed five defeats so far this season.

Losses at the hands of Flamengo, Botafogo, Sao Paulo, Cruzeiro and Juventude will have done little for Atletico GO's confidence and indeed the bigger picture shows that the hosts have managed to capture just one win from their last 12 matches overall in Serie A, slipping to seven defeats in the process.

Goals may also be in short supply here as no fewer than eight out of Atletico GO's last 10 games overall have resulted in Under 2.5 goals.

Corinthians have only fared marginally better than their upcoming hosts, Atletico GO, as the visitors have gained one win but also points in two draws as well which has placed Antonio Oliveira's side one league position above their hosts.

The one highlight to date so far this term came in the shape of a comprehensive 3-0 home win against Fluminense and this victory has been boosted by points picked up in draws with Atletico Mineiro and Fortaleza, with the win and the two stalemates all being achieved on home soil at their Neo Química Arena.

However, Corinthians make their way to the Estádio Antônio Accioly on the back of two defeats on the trot, losing to Flamengo 2-0 away from home along with the aforementioned 1-0 defeat at home to Botafogo, while goals have also been a rare commodity in the visitors' last 10 games overall in the domestic top flight.

Seven of Corinthians' last 10 games overall have resulted in Under 2.5 goals.

Atletico GO v Corinthians Verdict

The prospect of goals in this upcoming fixture look decidedly thin on the ground as no fewer than 12 out of the previous 14 meetings between Atletico GO and Corinthians have resulted in producing two goals or fewer, while Corinthians have won three of the last four encounters.

Therefore, our main bet will be Under 2.5 goals @ 1.53

Other side bets worth considering:
