Atletico GO vs Fluminense Prediction: Can We Still Expect Goianiense to Make a Comeback?

In the upcoming Round 30 fixture of the Brazil Serie A, Atletico Goianiense will take on Fluminense at the Stadium Antônio Accioly in Goiania, Brazil. Going in the contest, Atletico GO stands at the second last position in the table with just 6 wins and 25 points. We can expect Goianiense to make late progress, however, Fluminense standing in the top three standings with 15 wins and 51 points will be the favorites to win. Apart from the table standings, when the last time these two played against each other, Atletico GO won (0-2). 

Going in the game, Atletico GO is coming off a win against Avai FC (1-2), in which Wellington Rato and Gabriel Baralhas scored goals. Atletico GO needs to still click together as a unit and not rely on specific players. With a decent looking formation of 4-2-3-1, Atletico GO is likely to make some changes before finalizing their lineup against Fluminense. With a goal scoring average of 0.9 goals per game, Atletico GO can demonstrate reasonable competition against the away favorites.

• Dudu
• Gazal
• Rato

Going in the game, Fluminense is coming off a defeat against Atletico Mineiro (2-0), in which Fluminense’s entire lineup looked off color. Before that Fluminense recorded a high scoring win against Juventude (4-0). With a goal scoring average of 1.6 goals per game, Fluminense will enter as the favorites to win and stay in the race of top three standings. German Cano will be in the spotlight as he leads the tally of leading goal scorer this season.

• German Cano
• Jhon Arias
• Manoel Messias

Though Atletico GO hasn’t lost to Fluminense in its last five encounters, this time around, Fluminense will definitely win and score 2 or more goals. I am predicting the home side to struggle while scoring. 

• Fluminense to Win for 2.23
• Total Under 2.5 for 2.22
• Both Teams to Score - No for 1.8
