- Competition: Brasileiro Serie B
- Date: Tuesday, 24th, June 2025
- Kickoff: 01:00 UK / 02:00 CEST
- Venue: Estadio da Serrinha (Goiania)
Goias and Athletic Club square off at Estadio do Serrinha on Tuesday in a Brasileiro Serie B duel between a side eyeing the top and one scrapping for survival.
After a comprehensive 2-0 setback against CRB that slashed their lead at the top from four points to just one, Goias now face mounting pressure to deliver an immediate response if they hope to keep their hands firmly on the steering wheel in the promotion battle.
Meanwhile, Athletic Club finally gave their supporters something to cheer about thanks to the late-game heroics of super-sub Neto Costa who bagged a dramatic stoppage-time winner against Operario, pulling his team within four points of the last safe spot currently held by Botafogo SP.
Goias vs Athletic Club Betting Tips : UNDER 2.5
The favorite tag rightfully belongs to the Goias outfit who are fired up to bounce back swiftly from last week’s setback and keep the title-chasing pack in their rearview mirror, though Athletic Club will be eager to throw a wrench in their plans and make the road to victory anything but smooth. It feels likely that scoring chances will be limited, which means one goal could be enough to separate the teams in what should turn into a closely fought contest full of defensive discipline. With eight goals conceded across 12 gameweeks, Goias' defense is reputed to be one of the toughest to break down in the Brasileiro second tier, but their matches tend to be dull affairs given their lack of cutting edge up front, with only a single one of their previous six league games crossing the three-goal mark. When it comes to Athletic Club, they’ve also faced their share of struggles in the final third, finally snapping a four-game scoring drought with a hard-fought 2-1 win over lowly Operario last week, a result that brought some much-needed relief to their misfiring frontline. Judging by recent displays, both teams appear blunt up front, so we might see a tactical battle where caution takes center stage, potentially leading to a low-scoring and uneventful contest.
Goias team news
Both Diego Caito and Gonzalo Freitas missed the latest league match due to accumulated yellow cards, but they’re now ready to return after serving their suspensions.
Messias has been out for three league matches following an unknown suspension, whereas Lucas Ribeiro was forced to sit out the 2-0 loss against CRB due to injury issues.
