Ponte Preta host Atlético GO in Serie B late in the season, with the home side bottom of the table and needing points to escape relegation, while the visitors are in the upper group and need points to hold their position. This game therefore sees both sides with their own reasons to come out and fight. Ponte Preta have just lost 5-1 to Novorizontino in Serie B on 12 Oct. Their defending is a clear problem, while Atlético GO have just drawn 1-1 at home with Sport Recife in Serie B on 11 Oct. The visitors' game looks steadier and they have more quality in attack. If Ponte Preta score first, the game will likely turn into one where the hosts sit deep and play on the counter, a shape that makes it harder for the visitors. But if Atlético GO get the opening goal, the hosts will be forced to open up, and that is the moment the visitors are best at.
