Atletico Goianiense take on the visitors Fortaleza in the round 17 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, July 18th at Estádio Antonio Accioly (Goiânia).
Atletico Goianiense have very modest goals for the season. The "Dragon" a decade and a half ago played in the 3rd division of the country - they rose from there only at the end of the 2008 season. They managed to get through Serie B very quickly, but at the same time they couldn’t stay in Brasileirao for a long time. The last time they managed to spend only 1, 2017 at all, after which we went "one floor below" for a long time. On the other hand, last season Atlético Goianiense managed to climb up to 9th place in Serie A. But it didn’t work out at this level. Yes, in the Copa Sudamericana it was possible to get into the 1/4 finals - they won 0-2 in Asuncion, after which they knocked out Olimpia on penalties. But at the same time, in the championship they have defeats to Sao Paulo and Santos, which made them the fall into the relegation zone.

Fortaleza is currently the worst club in Serie A. The Trinity of Steel is a lot like their next opponent. The team has played in the top division of Brazil in recent years sporadically. Moreover, in 2010-2017 they blabbed at all in the 3rd league of the country. But, on the other hand, 2021 turned out to be very successful. The club managed to jump to an unattainable 4th place. But, of course, it is another matter to linger on such a peak. It didn't work out at all. Yes, they played in the Copa Libertadores, and even left the group - but only to lose in the first round of the playoffs to Estudiantes. But this is nothing compare to a failure in the domestic championship. There, Fortaleza continues to occupy the last place in the table, with 11 points after 16 matches. But in the last round, at least they survived 0-0 with Palmeiras.
In the last two draws of Brasileirao, everything worked out about the same. Atlético Goianiense took 4 points out of 6 possible. Fortaleza, even at their peak, last year, could not beat this opponent. We betting on Atletico Goianiense to win.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Goianiense to win.
