Atletico GO will open their league campaign in the Brazilian Serie A with a home game against Flamengo on Thursday 13 August. Atletico were inactive on the opening day of the league campaign while Flamengo were 1-0 losers to Atletico Mineiro. The hosts are hoping to start their top flight campaign on a high, as they play at home, where their last loss came 20 matches away – way back in August 2019. They finished their Serie B campaign in 2019 with one loss in their last 12 matches and head to this game unbeaten in nine matches, having played in the Goiano 1 and Copa do Brasil. They have four wins in their last five matches and have scored two or more in three of the five and as they return to the top flight they will be looking to avoid the poor run they had towards relegation in 2017. Back then, they had two wins in their final 12 Serie A matches. These two sides last met competitively in 2017 and in their last five meetings, Flamengo have four wins and Atletico have no win.

On their part, Flamengo will be hoping for a better result after the opening loss to Atletico Mineiro. Post lockdown they played in the Carioca 1, winning five of their six matches there and having lost their last league game in 2019, they will be hoping to avoid a third straight loss in the league when they visit Atletico GO. They have also failed to score in their last two league matches and will be looking to get the target this time round. In their last 11 away matches, Flamengo have only lost once, on post match penalties to Fluminense in the Carioca 1 but they have just one clean sheet in their last nine away matches. They have scored in each of their last 10 away matches and in eight of them they have scored two or more goals.
