Flamengo, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Flamengo players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Athletico Paranaense. They came away from that fixture with 61% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Athletico Paranaense managed 10 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 11 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
Pedro Abreu dos Santos will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Flamengo.
Goias, Recent FormAfter a crushing 5-0 home loss to Palmeiras, the Goiás squad will need to dig deep to build confidence among their squad. In that game they recorded 43 % of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 7 of their 16 shots on goal.
Manager Emerson Ávila will be looking to hit the reset button after his team's terrible performances in their last 6 games, having scored only 3 goals, conceded 16, and picked up a meagre 3 points. They have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their recent results are not something they'll be looking to repeat, having lost 5 of their last 6 games.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Flamengo will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 8 encounters with Verdão. We have seen plenty of goals from Rubro-Negro when they play at home against Goiás. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 9 goals, which is an average of 3 goals per game.
Goiás will be hoping to get at least a point from this game having lost the last 4 times they've visited Flamengo in the league and not won this away fixture at Estádio do Maracanã for 6 games in a row.
Flamengo manager Jorge Sampaoli has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Pedro Abreu dos Santos (Sprained ankle), Filipe Luís (Calf), Matheus Matheuzinho (Broken leg), Gerson Santos da Silva (Groin) and Guillermo Varela (Hip) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Goiás manager Emerson Ávila ahead of this clash, with Gabriel Novaes (Tendon) missing out, which gives Ávila a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
