Cuiaba, who have won the Copa Verde competition twice so far (the most after Paysandu, three titles), secured a place in the top eight of the Brazilian regional cup with a routine 3-0 triumph over Ceilandia. On the other side. Vila Nova, which competes in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie B (the second tier of Brazilian football), managed to reach the quarter-finals of this year's edition of the Copa Verde after beating Luverdense in the round of 16.

Cuiaba vs Vila Nova Betting Tips: Team1 to Win

The Golden Fish, in the intention to fulfill the wish of their loyal fans, made the foundation for the passage to the semi-finals of the Copa Verde, as they beat Villa Nova 2-0 in the first leg of the quarter-finals. Now, it is hard to imagine that Cuiaba will waste the two-goal advantage acquired in Goiania and stay without a place in the top four.

Cuiaba is warming up very well before the new season (the third in a row in Serie A Brazil), because besides they are on the threshold of the semi-finals of the Copa Verde, they are also fighting for the playoff final in the Campeonato Matogrossense (the first game they played 0-0 from Luverdense).

Golden Dourado have found a winning formula in recent weeks. The mentioned draw is the only stumble of their great performance, because before that they tied four triumphs in a row. They work flawlessly at both ends of the field, which is confirmed by the goal difference of 11 goals scored and none conceded in the last five games.

The club from Goiania will definitely not remember the month of March for well. Coach Claudine Oliveira's team finished their participation in the Goiano championship, then they were eliminated by Nautico (1-2) from the Copa do Brasil, and now they are 90 minutes away from saying goodbye to the Copa Verde.

The Tigers from Goiania are shaking by a serious result crisis from which no light can be seen at the end of the tunnel. Vila Nova has not tasted the sweetness of victory (counting only the regular 90 minutes) for more than a month, and in that period they have drawn four times, while now they are going to Cuiaba with three consecutive defeats.

TTwo years ago, at the same venue, Cuiaba beat Villa Nova with a minimum of 3-0 and we doubt that anything will change this time. The Tigers will attack from the first minute, because they have nothing to lose, but we are convinced that Cuiaba will patiently wait for their right opportunity and with a new triumph certify their placement in the semi-finals of the Copa Verde.
