Both Atletico Goianiense and Avai will be looking for a victory when they meet at the Estadio Antonio Accioly for their latest Brasileiro fixture, kickoff at 2:30 am.
Atletico Goianiense is currently in the relegation zone and has only won one of their first four games this season. The squad is struggling to respond to this. As they have also drawn twice and lost once in all competitions. This is one of the reasons that they find themselves in the relegation zone.
On Sunday, the team lost against Corinthians, with Gustavo Mantuan scoring the game’s only goal. Despite Atletico Goianiense’s struggles, they remain only three points away from the relegation zone, giving them a chance to escape it with a victory.
Playing at home has also been something that has worked in their favour this season. That is the only place, they have won in the league this season.
The visitors are sitting in 12th place right now. However, they’ve also struggled throughout this campaign as they’ve only won one-third of their matches. Avai is without a victory in their last four games in the league, though, with three draws being followed up against Sao Paulo on Saturday. The squad shared the points with Sao Paulo after Muriqui scored his second goal of the season to equalise late in the game.

Atletico Goianiense Team News
Jorginho could look to field the same back four as last weekend, who put in an impressive defensive performance against Corinthians. Meanwhile, at the other end of the field, Diego Churin is likely to lead the line for Goianiense as a lone striker, while Gabriel Baralhas is still searching for his first goal.
Avai Team News
Defender Douglas Friedrich is away from visitors Avai due to suspension, allowing goalkeeper Vladimir to step in again. Jean Pierre will also be absent with injury, while Muriqui will look to provide a goal threat from the wings as he did last weekend.
