Atletico GO take on the visitors Guarani at “Estadio Olimpico Pedro Ludovico” in the matchday three of the Brazilian Serie B. The game will be played in Goiania on Wednesday, April 25th.
Last season in which Atletico GO performed in the Brazilian elite division has turned into a complete fiasco for them. Although “Dragao” fully deserved their last position in the Serie A table, still they managed to show a few good results at the end of the season like the club’s triumphs over Sport Recife, Corinthians and Ponte Preta. If the forthcoming hosts have not been utterly failed the first lap, they would probably managed to stay with the Brazilian Serie A in the current as well. The squad has been changed dramatically after the side’s relegation from the elite division, however, it is a usual practice for Brazil when the club renews its roster up to 75%. As for Atletico GO’s performance in the opening clashes of the season, they have got 3:2 victory over Criciuma at the home pitch and then lost 0:1 to Coritiba on the road which is also typical for South America where the home-field factor has a great impact on the team’s results.

Meanwhile, Guarani were new-comers of the Serie B in previous season as the side played in the Brazilian second division in 2012 for the last time. Nevertheless, it didn’t prevent “Bugre” from settling on the top of the table for quite a while at the start of the season. But the team had slowed down by the mid of the tournament which lead it to the relegation battle and its rescue in the last matchdays only because of a tiebreaker. The main reason of Guarani’s failures was their performance on the road as “Bugre” had lost 12 out of 19 away clashes while only two out of the team’s overall 11 victories had been taken at away grounds. The club also focuses on the home encounters in this season: Guarani beat Sampaio Correa in front of their fans after an away defeat from Fortaleza.
Both sides have gone through serious changes during the summer break, nevertheless, I believe in Atletico GO’s triumph as the Brazilian teams traditionally are highly depended on the home-turf factor which is a crucial one for “Bugre” in particular.
Prediction for the match: Atletico GO to win.
