Novorizontino host Goiás in Serie B, with the home side sitting 4th on 51 points from 30 matches, while the visitors are 11th, 9 points adrift. Both sides need points from this game for different reasons: the hosts to shore up their position near the top of the table, the visitors to climb out of mid-table. Novorizontino's most recent outing ended in a 0-0 draw and they have not won in 3 straight matches, but their overall season remains solid, scoring an average of 1.6 goals per game and conceding only 0.9. Goiás, meanwhile, lost 0-1 in their last match, and their away form over the last five and a half has produced 3 defeats from 5, with an attack that has managed only 1 goal per game all season. If Novorizontino score first from a sustained spell of pressure, Goiás, who will have to open up and chase the game, are likely to concede more space in midfield, and the match will tilt further and further toward the hosts.
