Brasileiro Serie A will be back in action this week when Corinthians welcome Atletico Goianiense to Neo Química Arena in the 28th round of the competition. Kickoffs on September 29 at 01:00 EAT.
Corinthians are now winless in five successive league fixtures in which they have conceded first. However, they have a big opportunity to move up the table, with three of their next four league fixtures taking place at home, where they have points in all but one domestic encounter this season.
Corinthians comes into this game off the back of 1-0 Serie A losing efforts at the hand of América Mineiro in their most recent encounter. In that game, Corinthians managed 54% possession and 11 shots with three of them on target. América Mineiro got 16 shots with seven of them on target and a goal by Juninho (77′).
Heading into match day 28 of the Brasileiro Serie A, Atletico Goianiense has tallied the third-fewest goals in the league (24) while failing to find the back of the net in five domestic encounters. Six points currently separate them from top-flight salvation, with Atletico searching for their first domestic triumph away from home since surprising Fluminense 2-0 in June.
Atlético Goianiense will seek to make amends following 1-2 losing efforts to Internacional in their most recent match. In that game, Atlético Goianiense managed 54% possession, 19 shots with four of them on target and a goal scored by Diego Churín (64′). Internacional got 13 shots with four of them on target and goals by Pedro Henrique (28′, 35′).
