This game is a Goiás state derby in Serie B, where both teams still have points to collect to move up the table, with the hosts trailing by 4 points and having just taken a win in their last match 2-1. Goiás have found their rhythm in the last two matches, winning consecutively, but overall this season they have conceded more than they have scored. The defence is a point of concern, as they often concede goals late in games. Atlético GO, meanwhile, have been steadier despite losing their last match 1-0, having won as many as three of the five matches before that, including a match where they thrashed their opponents 4-0. The pattern of play is likely to be a back-and-forth battle for possession between two teams with similar possession numbers, but Atlético GO look likely to create slightly more chances based on their average shots on target per match. If Goiás can defend solidly and avoid conceding in the middle of the second half as they have done recently, this game is likely to end closely contested, and the hosts have a chance to take points.
