The schedule has been brutal towards Atletico Goainiense as they had to play the likes of Flamengo and Palmeiras within the last seven days.
They finally return to Estadio Antonio Accioly on Saturday night to play host to bottom-half rivals Santos in a massive six-pointer in the 32nd round of the Serie A.
The two outfits are separated by only two points in the bottom half of the standings. Santos, who sit just one position above the red zone, are five points adrift of the danger area.
The visitors have had a dreadful campaign in this term of the Serie A but they managed to escape the relegation zone after the recent victories over Fluminense and Atletico Paranaense.
It is worth mentioning that Santos significantly improved their defensive showings under new manager Fabio Carille (took charge in September).

赛程对戈阿尼恩斯竞技队来说很残酷，因为他们在过去的七天里必须和弗拉门戈和帕尔梅拉斯这样的球员比赛。
他们终于在周六晚上回到了安东尼奥阿西奥里球场，在意甲第32轮比赛中主场迎战下半段的对手桑托斯。
两队在积分榜的后半部分只差两分。桑托斯只在红区上方一个位置，离危险区还有5个点。
客队在本赛季意甲的表现非常糟糕，但在最近战胜弗卢米ense和帕拉纳ense竞技队后，他们成功地摆脱了降级区。
值得一提的是，桑托斯在新教练法比奥·卡莱尔(9月上任)的带领下，防守表现显著改善。
