Corinthians and Atletico Goianiense have been eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana and now they are all set for the 2021 Brazilian Serie A campaign. Corinthians will host Atletico in their opening league game, looking to build on rather low finishes last season. The hosts have been taking part in the Paulista A1 as well as the Copa Sudamericana and go to this game having won three of their last five matches. In the last two matches, they’ve kept clean sheets and scored nine goals but it is their good home run they’ll be banking on. The team has 13 goals in the last five matches, though conceding seven. In five home matches, they have four wins and this is the first of two back to back matches against Atletico with the two set to face off again in the Brazilian Cup. Last season Corinthians finished Serie A winless in the final five matches, and will be hoping for a better start.

Atletico GO are coming from three straight draws, and are unbeaten in the last five matches. Just like Corinthians, they finished second in their Copa Sudamericana group, with 10 points, and were as a result eliminated. They’ve also been shaping up in the Goiano 1 and will be hoping to improve on their last two matches, having failed to score in them. In their last three away matches, they have no clean sheet and will need to improve on this after their low finish to the Serie A last season. In their final five matches, they managed just one win, while they posted just four wins in their last 12. They didn’t keep a clan sheet in their last six league matches and managed just one in 10. Both meetings between these two sides last season ended in draws, and Atletico finished 13th with 50 points; a place and a point below Corinthians.
