Corinthians vs Atletico GO – Brazilian A 

This is a very important match for both teams, played at Pacaembu. Corinthians, the home team, isn’t playing good in last games. They didn’t won in four games, with two draws and two defeats in those games. Successive points loss, send Corinthians to 3rd place, but with the chance to get the leadership of Brasileirão, for this happen, Corinthians has to win today’s meeting and win the game that will be played in the middle of next week .

This game is also very important, because at the same time Cruzeiro play against Fluminense. For this game against Atlético Goianense, Corinthians team has some attack players out today, Elias is in Brazil National Team, Jorge Henrique, Dentinho and Ralp are injured, Daniel suspended, and Roberto Carlos will be spared. The only good news is the Chicao return.

Corinthians: Julio Cesar, Alessandro, Chicao, William and Dodo, Paulinho, Boquita, Jucilei and Bruno César; Iarley and Souza.

On the other side will be Atletico Goianiense that want to win points to get out of the relegation zone. Atlético is currently ranked as 28th with 26 points and, 3 from Avaí which is the 1st team above the relegation zone. So if they beat Corinthians and there is a very unlikely results combination, they can leave the relegation zone this week. But Goianiense is not at his best. After a few games where it seemed that the team were recovering, Goianense comes from three consecutive defeats, and the last against Flamengo. To the meeting at Pacaembu Goianiense team is also depleted in the attack. Elias, the most important player is the national team, Josiel is injured like Ramalho, also injured.

Atlético Goianiense: Márcio Adriano, Daniel Marques, Gilson and Thiago Feltri; Pituca, Robston, Diguinho and Renatinho; Diogo Campos (Carlinhos Bala) and Marcao (Juninho).

Conclusion: It’ll be a very difficult game for Corinthians, the team is not in top form, but I believe that thoughts in leadership can give strength to this team. In addition, on the other side will not be no bogeyman, since Goianiense playing away from home is not much, and they are missing their best player. So I think Corinthinas can win this game, but will not be easy. I think when we reach the 1st goal, second goal might come soon and it should come up here. So my bet will be the AH -1 handicap.
