The Brazilian top flight action continues on Wednesday night when Goias play host to Corinthians as the betting tips continue at Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro.
Goias Prediction – Can Goias keep another clean sheet?
Having won 5 of their last 6 matches overall in the Brazilian top flight, Wednesday night’s hosts, Goias, will be in confident mood of continuing this impressive recent sequence of form when they welcome 4th placed Corinthians to their Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro.
Wins against Fluminense, Sao Paulo, Cruzeiro, Ceara and CSA have helped lift Goias up into the top half of Serie A in 9th place and just 5 points shy of 6th placed Gremio and the Copa Libertadores qualifier spot.
Even more impressive is that Goias have recorded 5 clean sheets within this 6-match sequence, while their overall record on home turf stands at a solid looking 8-1-3 17/9 and includes winning their last 3 home matches on the trot too (all to nil).
The main goal threats for the hosts are likely to be posed by forwards Michael (5 goals) and Barcia (4 goals), but their defence has been just as impressive.
Corinthians Prediction – Can Corinthians return to winning ways?
Although Corinthians occupy 4th place in the Brazilian top flight, the visitors will be a little concerned that they’ve failed to win any of their last 3 matches overall following back-to-back draws with Gremio and Athletico PR in 0-0 and 2-2 results, along with a 1-0 defeat away at Sao Paulo last time out in Serie A.
With just 2 defeats out of their last 17 matches in the top flight though, Corinthians are still a dangerous side and one that will be desperate to hang onto their current top four position in Serie A with the likes of Sao Paulo and Gremio breathing down their necks.
Corinthians still remain unbeaten on home turf at their Arena Corinthians where they’ve registered the bulk of their success so far this season, while on the road, an away record of 3-5-4 10/9 is less convincing with the visitors winning just 1 of their last 6 matches.
That win came in the shape of a narrow 1-0 victory at bottom club, Chapecoense, but recent defeats at Fluminense and Sao Paulo show that Corinthians can be vulnerable away from home.
Key-Facts – Goias v Corinthians
- Goias have won 5 of their last 6 matches in Serie A
- Within these last 6 matches, Goias have kept 5 clean sheets
- Corinthians have won just 1 of their last 6 away matches in Serie A
Betting Tips Verdict
Goias have been in pretty solid form at home while high-flying Corinthians have struggled of late on their travels, so the hosts should grab a point at least here.
