Goiás are yearning to improve their points total at home in this match against Cuiabá.

Insights:
  • Goiás have the fewest scored goals in the first half (3) in Serie A
  • Cuiabá have the fewest scored goals (9) in Serie A

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Goiás have less rest than Cuiabá in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Copa do Brasil game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Atlético GO, so at least Goiás are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Goiás form and stats

Goiás have played 6 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-4-1 (wins-draws-losses).

The Goiás manager Ventura and his players return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Atlético GO in the Copa do Brasil. Midfielder Elvis was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.6 (out of ten) in that game. Elvis hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

A Serie A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Corinthians.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Goiás have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won 8 times, drawn 4 and lost 1.

Goiás are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. Goiás's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 7 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Cuiabá form and stats

There's been little loot from Cuiabá's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the Serie A. Cuiabá only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 0 draws. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Cuiabá have lost on their last two travels.

Cuiabá have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 225 minutes ago. Andre was the goal scorer.

Cuiabá delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Ceará (placed 13th) in their previous fixture. Defender Lucas was the best team player with a rating of 7.45. Lucas won 7 of 10 duels.

A 0-2 defeat away at Flamengo before that.

Cuiabá 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, 5 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 11 matches.

The attacking power of Cuiabá when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Cuiabá's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 10 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

As for the last five games between these two teams, there's two Goiás victories, one draw and two Cuiabá wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
