Goias vs Coritiba Predictions

• Coritiba scored just four times in their opening eight games of the new season.
• Goias scored exactly one goal in five of their last six matches.
• Coritiba failed to register in five of their eight fixtures so far this term.

Cagey affair likely in Goias

Two of the bottom four clubs in Brazil’s Serie A meet at the Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro on Wednesday evening as bottom side Goias host Coritiba in what promises to be a low-key contest.

With just one win from their opening fixtures so far, Goias are rooted to the foot of the table, though the Esmeraldino have games in hand on every other team in the division to come.

Coritiba travel to Goias as the league’s lowest scoring team, and their return of just four goals from eight assignments is a miserable haul. Unsurprisingly, Jorginho’s side failed to register in five of those right contests, and we expect the Coxa to struggle in front of goal again on Wednesday.

Having recorded their first victory of the campaign at the end of last month, and hit the post with a couple of narrow 2-1 defats to Corinthians and Sport Recife, an upturn in fortunes is expected soon for Goias, and against a goal-shy Coritiba outfit, we’re backing the hosts to eke out a slender victory.

The hosts notched just one goal in five of their last six, though our correct score prediction of 1-0 indicates a single effort should be enough for Goias to see off their toothless visitors.
