Head-to-head statistics Atletico GO - Criciuma

Goianiense Team Overview
Atlético Goianiense have won three and drawn two of their last five matches, maintaining a solid defensive record - they have conceded an average of just 0.7 goals per game over their last ten matches.

Match Results: Goianiense

Criciuma Team Overview
Criciúma are in the promotion race and sit above the hosts on wins accumulated over the course of the season. Their recent form does raise questions, though: they have won just one of their last five matches, losing three and drawing one, and their attack has not been particularly productive - averaging only 0.8 goals per match over the last ten rounds. Their defence has remained reasonably organised, however, conceding fewer than one goal per game on average (0.9) over a longer stretch, which has helped them stay close to the top of the table.
