Goiás is campaigning well below expectations in Serie B, is one of the 3 teams that has not yet won in the competition and needs an urgent recovery to try to leave the relegation zone. The local team presents serious problems, both in the offensive and defensive sector, as they scored only 4 goals, being the worst attack of the competition, and suffered 12 goals, having the second worst defense, since they suffered at least 3 goals in 2 of the last 3 days. Playing in his stadium, Goiás accumulates 1 draw and 2 losses, having scored only 2 goals and suffered 6, evidencing the difficulty of achieving good performances even before his fans, where he has created some goal opportunities, but has been ineffective in the finalizations and, in addition, leaves many spaces in its defense. For the game against Boa Esporte, coach Ney Franco will not be able to count on Eduardo Brock, on account of a suspension due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
Boa:
After 1 draw and 5 losses, the away team is currently in the 20 th position, with 1 point won. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against CSA, by (1-0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Coritiba, by (1-1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 4 goals scored and 15 conceded; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Boa has 1 win, 1 draw and 8 losses.
For this competition, they have not won any of the last 6 games. The team has not been very strong defensively, as they have suffered goals in the last 6 matches they played in this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 44 of the last 54 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 15 games, he suffered the first goal 9 times and never got the comeback. There is 1 period that stands out in the last 20 away matches for all competitions: they have scored 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (31’-45 ‘).
The Boa Esporte is making a disastrous campaign in Serie B, in which it occupies the last position. Like his rival, is one of the teams that still seeks the first victory and needs to start presenting a much better football to try to get out of the terrible situation in which it is. The visiting team has as a major problem the enormous inefficiency of their attack, which scored only 2 goals and is the worst of the competition, but the defense also needs adjustments, suffered 9 goals and is the sixth worst, being that it suffered goals in the 6 days played up to here. These numbers help explain the negative performance. Playing as a visitor, as in the game on Saturday, the Boa lost all 3 games he played and the most worrying thing is that he has not scored goals away from his domains, being a team that few goal opportunities creates and that ends a few times , in addition to not being able to maintain possession of the ball for a long time. For the game against Goiás, coach Daniel Paulista will not be able to count on midfielder Machado, due to suspension.
