Insights:
  • Cuiabá have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Goiás have the most matches under the total-line (19) in Serie A

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Goiás, who are travelling more than 800 kilometers to play this game.

It's no vacation for neither Cuiabá nor Goiás as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Cuiabá form and stats

The story so far in the Serie A for Cuiabá at their home stadium (Arena Pantanal) is 4 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats.

Cuiabá are confident in defense, having played 318 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

Cuiabá enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Coritiba's place. The match ended 3-0 with Deyverson, Pitta and Raniele scoring. Midfielder Raniele was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.2 (out of ten) in that game. Raniele scored one goal, served one assist and hit one key pass.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Cruzeiro.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Cuiabá handle that role? We have found 7 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 5 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats.

It should be added that a look at the 10 most recent league games reveals that 9 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored).

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Cuiabá, as the Serie A home game vs Corinthians is only four days away.

The Cuiabá fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 13 matches. Cuiabá have conceded 15 in these home matches.

Goiás form and stats

Goiás have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 3-3-7 (13 played).

Goiás won their last game, 2-0 versus São Paulo played at home. Hooray; their first three points in the league after seven games not winning. Midfielder Morelli was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.75. Morelli scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

A 4-6 loss hosting Bahia before that.

Goiás are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 9 matches.

Low on goals? 12 of this team's last 13 league rounds have had two goals or less.

Goiás have another match that requires travelling in just four sleeps, a Serie A fixture vs Fluminense. A strenuous calendar for them!

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Goiás as they have only managed to score 10 times from 13 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Goiás have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Goiás - Cuiabá 0-1 was the scoreline in these contenders' previous H2H match, earlier this season. Data for the last ten meetings featuring these two squads are: four wins for Cuiabá, one draw and five wins for Goiás. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
