Figueirense vs Goias Predictions

Saturday’s Brazilian Serie B action features a clash between promotion hopefuls Figueirense and Goias. Both sides will be looking to close in on the top 4 by claiming the 3 points but the visitors look more likely to do so.

Hosts Figueirense are going to have to improve significantly on their recent showings if they are to avoid dropping out of the race for a place in Serie A. Furacão were in the promotion spots a couple of weeks ago but after taking just 2 points from the last available 9, failing to score a single goal in the process, they now find themselves two points adrift down in 7th.

Figueirense’s home showings don’t exactly provide reason for encouragement coming into this clash either. They may will be one of the division’s strong away outfits but on their own patch, the side have won only 2 of their last 8 matches, losing 4 times in the process and it’s fair to say pressure will begin to mount if they fall to another defeat in Saturday’s match.

It won’t be easy to avoid defeat however, with the resurgent Goias in town. The visitors started the season in horrific form, taking just 2 points from their first 7 matches but have looked a real contender for promotion since boss Ney Franco came in.

Franco has completely transformed Verdao and they are now a confident and powerful force under his watch. 8 wins from the last 11 matches has spirits sky high in visiting ranks and a dominant 3-0 win over second placed CSA last time more than illustrates the way in which the side are playing at the moment.

In their current state, you’d back Goias to go toe to toe with anything Serie B has to offer and with Figueirense in less than convincing shape, we rate the visitors chances of taking home maximum points far higher than the bookies do.

As such, we’re more than happy to back Goias on the Draw No Bet line at very appealing odds. They’ve won 3 of their last 4 away matches and will not be afraid of travelling to the Estadio Orlando Scarpelli, which evidenced by their results there, is far from a fortress for the hosts.

With confidence at parallel opposites in each camp, Goias should be able to continue their charge towards the top flight and we envisage them running out 2-1 winners, a scoreline worth backing in addition to our main tip for the game.
