LUVERDENSE v GOIAS
Friday 18th November 2016 – Kickoff: 2130hrs
Football – Brazil – Serie B Betting Tips
With just one defeat from their last twelve matches in the Brazilian Serie B, Friday night’s hosts Luverdense will be confident that they can add to their points tally when they take on Goias at their Estádio Municipal Passo Das Emas with a very impressive home record behind them.
Luverdense possess the best home record of all the teams situated outside of the top four of the Brazilian second tier with a record that stands at 10-6-2 29/17 and they’re unbeaten in their last ten matches in their own backyard.
The strikers to watch on Friday night for the home side are Hugo (9 goals) and Alfredo (7 goals) and as a team, Luverdense have scored 2 goals or more on seven occasions during this ten-game sequence.
Visitors Goias bounced from back-to-back defeats recently when they secured a valuable three points in a 3-2 win over bottom four club Joinville last weekend, and although they’re now safe from any relegation dramas, Goias face a tough task of breaking down Luverdense on Friday night.
Goias have won five of their last twelve Serie B matches overall but it should be noted that four of these wins were gained on home turf at their Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro, while their away record has been distinctly below-par throughout most of the season.
An away record of 4-3-11 16/28 indicates their struggles on their travels this term and they head into this encounter on the back of a four-match sequence without a win having lost at Avai, Atletico GO and Nautico.
In addition, Goias have kept only four clean sheets away from home all season, so I’ll back the home side here.
Pick: Luverdense AH-0.25 @ 1.86 Bet Victor
