Atletico GO vs Corinthians Prediction: Bet on a narrow win for Timão

Atlético Goianiense and Corinthians will face each other in round 9 of the Brazilian Serie A. Bookmakers do not see a favorite in the pair, considering that the opponents have roughly equal chances of success.

Atletico GO

After losing away to Atletico Mineiro, the Dragons have played four matches in two tournaments: two wins over Antofagasta and Coritiba, two draws with Quito and Internacional. As a result, first place in Group F of Copa Sudamericana, but only 18th place in the Serie A standings. Obviously, playing on two fronts left the Dragons feeling exhausted. Atletico Go managed to achieve a goal on the international stage, but only thanks to the failure at home. That said, their home stats are 14th in the division, +1=2-1, 4-3 goal difference in 4 games.

Corinthians

Corinthians has a draw syndrome, the five last matches involving Timão culminate in a tie, with four 1-1 and once 2-2. Another fact to note: Corinthians has scored in seven consecutive games. In Copa Libertadores, Corinthians surprised with a home draw against Always Ready, but they still achieved their goal and will now play in the playoffs. In the national championship, Timão are third, behind the leaders Palmeiras and Atletico Mineiro only on goal difference. Corinthians' away statistics are fifth in the division, +2=1-1, 6-6 goal difference. Corinthians have only failed to score in away games against Palmeiras, losing 0-3 to the Greens.
