On Tuesday night, Atletico GO and Corinthians go head-to-head at the Estadio Antonio Accioly as both teams look for a winning return in Serie A.
Atletico GO looking to end poor recent runJair Ventura’s team goes into this game in unconvincing form, as Atletico has won just one of their seven games in Serie A this season, having also suffered five defeats.
In fact, the home team has won just once in their last 12 league games, dating back to their previous spell in Serie A in 2022.
Their recent outings in the Brazilian top flight have been low-scoring contests, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of the last six matches.
For the team from Goias, a turnaround in their home form is crucial to escape the league’s relegation zone. They have suffered three consecutive home defeats in Serie A and have failed to score in their last two home games.
Corinthians are looking to build on their cup formThe visitors suffered a 1-0 home defeat against Botafogo last time out in Serie A, which ended a run of three straight wins in all competitions, two of which were in the Copa Sudamericana and one in the Copa do Brasil.
Corinthians' recent form in Serie A has been poor, though. They are winless in three games following successive losses against Flamengo and, of course, the aforementioned defeat last time out.
The main issue has been their struggling attack, which has failed to score in six of their seven matches in Serie A.
Corinthians’ results on their travels have not exactly been stellar either. The 2-0 defeat against Flamengo was their third straight defeat away from home in Serie A this season.
What am I backing?Both teams need a win but struggles in front of goal have hampered their efforts to pick up wins and victories. I can see this being a tight game lacking in goals. Therefore, the bet I am backing is under 2.5 goals scored.
