Atletico Goianiense will host Criciuma at the Ligga Arena on Wednesday in another round of the 2024 Brasileirao Serie A campaign. The home side are enjoying a decent run of results in the league after a slow start to their season and are now climbing up the league table.
They beat Fluminense 2-1 in their last match, finding themselves a goal down at the break before Luiz Fernando and Mateo Zuleta got on the scoresheet in the second half to clinch all three points for the Dragon.
Criciuma, meanwhile, have struggled for results in the league this season and currently find themselves in the drop zone. They played out a 2-2 draw against Bahia in their last match, taking a two-goal lead early in the second half before a red card to goalkeeper Gustavo saw their opponents come from behind to draw level.
The visitors sit 18th in the league table with six points from seven matches and will be looking to return to winning ways this week.
