We are looking at a noteworthy contrast in quality between these sides based on table positions so far, with Goiás ahead of Vitória by 19 points.
- Goiás have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (4) in Serie B
- Vitória have the fewest matches over the total-line (7) in Serie B
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Serie B game only three days ago.
Vitória have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Goiás form and stats
The story so far in the Serie B for Goiás at their home stadium (Estádio do Governo do Estado de Goiás) is 7 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Goiás to get some points in this home game.
In their previous game, the manager M. Ribeiro Cabo led his Goiás to a defeat in the Serie B match away at Vasco da Gama. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio do Governo do Estado de Goiás. Midfielder Alef Manga was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.62 (out of ten) in that game. Manga hit three key passes.
Before that game, the home loss against Vila Nova with the scoreline 1-2.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Goiás's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won two matches, drawn zero and lost zero.
The manager M. Ribeiro Cabo will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Nautico in only three days.
Goiás are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 13 games. Goiás have only conceded 9 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Vitória form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Vitória so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 1-7-5 (win-draw-lose).
The attacking players of Vitória have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 438 minutes.
Vitória's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Botafogo that finished 0-0. Renan Luis was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.65. The defender Luis hit three key passes and won 3 of 4 duels.
Prior to that match, the Vitória manager W. Lopes faced defeat when travelling to Londrina and losing 0-1.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Vitória playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Vitória as they have only managed to score 7 times from 13 away games in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (11 so far). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
