Goiás and Athletic Club meet in Serie B with the same 42 points from 31 matches, the hosts sitting 12th and the visitors 14th, but the form they arrive in could hardly be more different, as Goiás lost 0-3 in their last match while Athletic Club went down 1-2 in a much tighter affair. Goiás have won two and lost three of their last five, their attack still not settled, while Athletic Club have drawn two, lost two and won one, though their defence is not much tighter than their opponents'. The two sides' season totals are very close, both in goals scored and conceded. This looks like a game where both teams will be cautious and wait for their moments rather than trade blows from the start, because both need points to climb the table and neither has spent recent matches attacking relentlessly. If the hosts dominate possession and open the game up gradually, the visitors are likely to sit deep and look to counter.
