Avai vs Atletico GO Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Tuesday’s Brazilian Serie B action features an interesting looking clash between Avai and Atletico GO. It’s the visitors who arrive in better form and they’ll be looking to continue that by picking up a good result in this clash.

While Avai returned to winning ways with a 2-1 triumph at struggling Londrina last week, they certainly haven’t been playing that well in recent weeks and will have to step things up a notch if they are to take something from this tricky looking clash.

The side had previously suffered back to back 1-0 defeats, which had threatened to put a cloud over what had been a decent start to their quest to bounce back to Serie A at the first time of asking. Nonetheless, still standing 4th, Avai will be hungry to put together another run of form in order to remain in the promotion spots, but a home record that reads 2 wins from the last 11 matches hardly inspires confidence ahead of this match.

Meanwhile, Atletico GO take to the field knowing that a win will see them leapfrog Avai and move up into the promotion spots that they too are looking to finish in, having came down with Avai last season.

Dragão had started the season in inconsistent fashion but are now starting to look like the contender everyone expected them to be at the start of the campaign. A 1-0 win at leaders Fortaleza with 10 men showed the resolve in the Atletico camp and made it four wins on the bounce, leaving confidence sky high.

Ultimately, the odds set for this fixture makes very little sense and Avai should not be such comfortable favourites by any means. Atletico are a very dangerous outfit, evidenced by the fact they are Serie B’s top scorers and now having kept clean sheets in their last two victories, they look to be tightening things up defensively.

Atletico have real momentum behind them now and backing them on the double chance line simply has to be the way to play. Avai are far from a powerful force on their own patch and with four regular starters out suspended, they look up against it.

Atletico look the more likely winners and at the very least should be able to take a point. They won both games between the two last season and are unbeaten in their last 5 meetings with Avai, a streak that looks set to continue with a 1-0 away win our prediction for the match.
