Thursday night brings us further action from the Brazilian top flight with a full slate of fixtures in midweek and we continue with a look ahead to the clash between mid-table rivals Goias and Athletico PR as the betting tips continue at the Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro with the hosts looking to capture a fourth home win on the trot…
Goias – Can Goias win four on the trot at home?
Goias sit in 9th place in the Brazilian top flight with most of their success this season being achieved at their Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro where the hosts have won 3 of their 4 matches to date with wins over Ceara, Botafogo and Chapecoense.
Goias have managed just 1 win from their first 3 matches away from home this term but as they return to their more familiar surroundings for this Thursday night clash with Athletico PR, they’ll be confident that they can further add to their points tally in this encounter.
3 home wins on the trot will give any team confidence, and Goias are no different as they look to chalk up a fourth victory on the bounce here, and another three points here could see the hosts move up into the top four.
Goias have also held the upper hand in recent history over Athletico PR on home turf as the hosts have won the last 4 meetings between these two teams in their own backyard.
Forwards Kayke (3 goals) and Barcia (2 goals) look the most likely for the hosts here.
Athletico PR Prediction – Can Athletico PR end their poor away run?
Athletico PR also sit in a mid-table position in the Brazilian top flight and are just two league positions and two points adrift of their Thursday night’s hosts, Goias, as they make their way to the Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro for this fixture.
However, recent form would suggest that the visitors have their work cut out to get anything from this road trip despite recording recent wins against Bahia and Fluminense, which incidentally, were both on home turf at their Estádio Joaquim Américo Guimarães.
It is just the 2 wins though out of their last 7 matches overall in Serie A, and this ordinary sequence of results include defeats to Fortaleza, Corinthians, Flamengo and Palmeiras, with 3 of these 4 losses being incurred away from home within an overall disappointing away record of 0-1-3 4/7.
The visitors have failed to win any of their last four matches on the road and have earned just 1 point from the last possible 12 on offer on their travels, and along with their poor recent history at Goias, Athletico PR look set for further misery here.
Key-Facts – Goias v Athletico PR
- Goias have won their last 3 home matches on the trot in Serie A
- Goias have won the last 4 meetings at home against Athletico PR
- Athletico PR have lost 3 of their last 4 away matches in Serie A
Betting Tips Verdict
