Goias vs Athletico Paranaese Predictions

• The visitors are unbeaten in their last 14 matches.
• There have been fewer than four goals scored in all of the hosts’ last 13 games.
• Athletico Paranaense have won their last three meetings with Goiás.

Goals have been few and far between for the hosts

It’s been an exceptionally tough start to the season for the hosts and they currently occupy the last relegation place. However, the Brazilian Serie A is exceptionally tight and despite their lowly position, they sit just four points adrift of eighth place and a spot in the Copa Sudamericana. Games at the Estádio da Serrinha have been low scoring this season and Goiás will look to keep things close here and try to snatch a winner.

The visitors currently sit in second place and are just two points off Palmeiras in top spot. They’re also unbeaten across their last five road matches and have emerged victorious in four of those. They’ll be desperate to achieve a victory in an attempt to keep up the pace with the league leaders whilst simultaneously strengthening their grip on a Copa Libertadores spot.

Visitors to edge victory

We don’t see this one being a high-scoring encounter and whilst the hosts may frustrate Athletico Paranaense for large periods of the game, we think that in the end the visitors will find a way through and ensure that they leave with the three points.
