Atletico Goianiense will battle their way out of the red zone when they take on Juventude at Estádio Antônio Accioly in the 13th round of the Brasileiro Serie A. Match day schedules for June 20, 2022 at 00:00 EAT.
The hosts occupy the first relegations spot (17th) with 13 points from their 12 matches. Since the sacking of Umberto Louzer, things have progressed along a positive trajectory for the club from the central state of Goias, and Atletico has lost just two of their last six league matches, posting three wins in the process.
Atlético Goianiense will want to bounce back from 4-2 Serie A defeat to Palmeiras in their last outing. In that game, Atlético Goianiense managed 51% possession, 10 shots with three of them on target and goals scored by Diego Churín (29′, 79′). Palmeiras got 29 shots with 13 of them on target and goals by Zé Rafael (42′), Gustavo Gómez (44′, 45′) and Gustavo Scarpa (45′).
Juventude on the other end is placed 19th with just 10 points after they left the second tier as recently as 2021, and though they ultimately finished 16th in their first Serie A campaign for over a decade, their start to the current season suggests it could be a tough road ahead of them. They have now suffered three straight losses, and conceded two or more goals in each of the three games.
Juventude will be hoping for better results following 2-1 Serie A defeat at the hands of Santos in their last action. In that game, Juventude had 34% possession, 10 shots with one of them on target and a goal scored by Ricardo Bueno (26′). Santos got 18 shots with nine of them on target and goals by Eduardo Bauermann (57′) and Marcos Leonardo (77′).
