Atletico Paranaense had a good start to the Brazilian Serie A and as they get to play at home to Goias, they will be looking to make it two straight wins in the league. Atletico PR were the biggest winners, beating Fortaleza 2-0 to go top of the standings while Goias’ home match against Sao Paulo was postponed. Vitinho and Leo Cittadini scored first half goals to give Atletico the advantage and when Fortaleza were reduced to 10 men in the 68th minute, after Juan Quintero’s red card, it was the away team’s match. The opening win made it seven unbeaten matches for Atletico PR, who took part in the Paranaense 1 post lockdown. In the seven matches after lockdown, they managed five wins and four clean sheets. They have scored twice or more in three of their last five matches and having not lost any of their last 17 matches at home, across all competitions, they will be favorites here. Playing at home, the team has won each of the last seven matches and kept four clean sheets, and in Serie A alone, they have not conceded at home in their last five matches. In 12 of their last 15 home matches in Serie A, Atletico PR have however not scored more than a goal.

Goias on the other hand, have not been active competitively since March. The team played a friendly with Cuiaba and lost 2-0 at the start of August and after the postponement of their opening game, they’ll be hoping for a good start. They closed the league season last year with two losses in their last three matches and will be keen on a winning start though their away record in the league is not the best. Goias have lost 11 of their last 18 Serie A away matches and have just three clean sheets in the process but they have failed to score in just six of the 18 away matches. In their last eight meetings with Atletico PR, all in Serie A, each side has won four times but the winning team has at all times been the one playing at home.
