Match Facts, H2H & Predictions 20.08.2020

00:30  Goias vs Fortaleza

News

• Goias players Tadeu, David Duarte, Lucão, Jefferson, Sandro, Gilberto, Ratinho, Keko, Mike and Kevin Quevedo tested positive for Coronavirus and have missed their last two matches, but it’s expected that they will return for this match against Fortaleza.
• Rafael Moura and Lucão do Break will miss the match because of an injury.
• Michel and Boeck will miss the game through injury.
• Wellington Paulista was moved to the bench against Botafogo, but will probably come back into the starting XI.

Match Facts

• Last 3 matches where Fortaleza failed to score a goal (Brasileirão).
• Over 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Goias’s last 7 home games (Brasileirão).
• At least 2 goals conceded for Goias in 6 of their last 7 home matches (Brasileirão).
• Under 2.5 goals scored in Fortaleza’s last 3 games (Brasileirão).

H2H Stats

Head-to-head matches: GOIAS – FORTALEZA
01.12.19	SA	Goias	Fortaleza	1 : 2
01.09.19	SA	Fortaleza	Goias	2 : 0
02.09.18	SB	Goias	Fortaleza	3 : 1
13.05.18	SB	Fortaleza	Goias	3 : 0
05.11.06	SA	Fortaleza	Goias	0 : 3

Prediction

In their last two games Goias had it really difficult, but most likely, now they have recuperated and will be back in full force. They gave their all in their last match in order to earn an admirable point away at Palmeiras. Rafael Vaz has scored a great free-kick by striking the ball underneath them, catching the Palmeiras wall out. Goias decided to take few shots from outside the area and will possibly do something like that again against Fortaleza.

Fortaleza had a shaky start and have not yet won or scored in the league. The last time for them was 16th July in the state championships against Ceara. Their first point of the season was earned with a 0-0 draw against Botafogo, which gives them some foundation. Possibly they will have more luck in the match with Goias.

00:30  Internacional vs Atletico GO

News

• Dourado had a long injury and has just returned to training, so is a doubt here.
• Paolo Guerrero suffered a bad, season-ending injury in their last match, so Inter are now looking for a new striker.
• Another player that also suffered an injury and is a doubt here as well is Lindoso.
• Renato Kayzer from Atletico GO had a thigh injury.
• Gustavo Ferrareis and Dudu are going to miss the match because they are not eligible to play against their parent club. Dudu was sent off in Atletico’s last game, so he would have missed the game anyway.
• Moacir Costa da Silva will probably start at right-back.

Match Facts

• 35 of their last 38 home matches Internacional are undefeated (Brasileirão).

H2H Stats

Head-to-head matches: INTERNACIONAL – ATLETICO GO
13.10.12	SA	Atletico GO	Internacional	3 : 1
22.07.12	SA	Internacional	Atletico GO	4 : 1

31.07.11	SA	Internacional	Atletico GO	0 : 0
06.11.10	SA	Atletico GO	Internacional	2 : 2

Prediction

Inter lost 2-1 against Fluminense, after conceding two penalties. They didn’t manage to take an advantage of their chances.

Atletico GO vs Sport Recife ended with a draw 1-1 at home, which was disappointing. They barely held on for the three points, after going down to 10 men.

The favourites here are Internacional.

19:30  St. Johnstone vs Aberdeen

 

News

• Saints were without a win from their last four league visits to Rugby Park, so Callum Davidson’s Saints changed the formation.
• Saints vs Killie 2-1 in East Ayrshire.
• Shaun Rooney and Scott Tanser decided for a back 4, alongside Liam Gordon and
• Jason Kerr, the club captain, who made his 100th appearance for St Johnstone.
• Michael O’Halloran was summoned back to the attack after David Wotherspoon, who was off the bench, seized their 85th minute counterbalance.
• Wotherspoon is certainly hoping for a start here.
• Aberdeen’s two players had tested positive for COVID-19 and another six self-isolated,
• so they were making headlines but for all the wrong reasons.
• So now it will be interesting to see whether Derek McInnes will punish the ones that broke government guidelines by sending them to the bench.
• Ross McCrorie recently arrived from Rangers and it’s expected to have his debut.
• Ryan Edmondson and Sam Cosgrove are injured so that can be a worry for
• Derek McInnes, up front.
• Curtis Main will possibly return.

Match Facts

• Under 2.5 goals in St. Johnstone’s last 6 matches against Aberdeen in all competitions.
• Last 8 away matches against St. Johnstone in all competitions, where
• Aberdeen are undefeated.
• 9 of their last 10 matches where St. Johnstone are undefeated (Premiership).
• Last 5 away matches where Aberdeen are undefeated (Premiership).

H2H Stats

Head-to-head matches: ST JOHNSTONE – ABERDEEN
05.02.20	PRE	Aberdeen	St Johnstone	0 : 1
24.11.19	PRE	St Johnstone	Aberdeen	1 : 1
14.09.19	PRE	Aberdeen	St Johnstone	1 : 1
23.02.19	PRE	St Johnstone	Aberdeen	0 : 2
08.12.18	PRE	Aberdeen	St Johnstone	0 : 2

Prediction

St. Johnstone actually had a good start, considering they’ve been away from home in all three matches this season so far. Maybe it was good news that initially the match was postponed because Saints got Rangers out at Ibrox.

Their win at Kilmarnock was astonishing. This will most likely motivate Saints to give their best this time around.

The first match of the new Scottish Premiership season, Aberdeen vs Rangers at Pittodrie,ended with 1-0.

Derek McInnes has a lot on his plate, still being without three centre halves and four strikers.

The likely outcome seems to be St. Johnstone taking the victory, considering their great win on the weekend and also Aberdeen’s problems with squad selection.

1:0

Prediction
