The last time they met was in Jul 26, when CRB hosted Goiás and drew 2-2, and before that in Oct 25 it was CRB who came away with a 2-1 win on the road. This time, though, both sides go into the match in Serie B with very similar situations in the table. Goiás have 52 points from 35 games, just three points behind CRB, so this game is a direct measure of two teams sitting close together near the top of the table. Goiás return home after a 2-0 away win over Ceará in Serie B on 28 Oct, while CRB have just beaten Londrina 2-1 at home in Serie B on 24 Oct. Both therefore come in on the back of a win in their latest match, the only difference being that Goiás won away from home while CRB won at their own ground. This game is likely to be open from the start, because both teams have just won and need the points to move above each other in the table. If Goiás dominate possession as expected, the game will flow towards the home side, but CRB also carry a dangerous counter-attacking threat from an attack that scored twice in their previous match. The first thing to watch after kick-off is the home side's pressing and whether they can stop CRB from settling into their game right from the start.
