Goias are one of the best Serie B teams this season. They are one point behind the league leader but with one game in hand. Goias had a slight dip in form lately as they lost two of the last three matches. In the previous round, the team from Estadio da Serrinha returned to the right track with a 2-1 victory on the road against Chapecoense. The guests were close to another defeat, but they scored two goals in the final minutes of the match and picked up all three points. 

Last season, Criciuma played in the strongest competition in Brazilian football, but after relegation from Serie A, they are in trouble in the second level, too. Criciuma currently have only two points above the drop zone. Eduardo Baptista's team has been on an impressive run lately, with four games without defeat. The remarkable run was broken in the last match when Criciuma lost 2-1 at home against Avai. The home side finished the game with 63% ball possession and ten shots on goal, more than the guests, so Baptista's team surely deserved more from that match. 

Goias vs Criciuma pick: BTTS - Yes

Goias scored at least one goal in five of the last six matches. On the other hand, Criciuma scored in each of the previous five games. We should have goals on both sides in the upcoming tie at Estadio da Serrinha.

Goias team news

After two defeats, for Goias, it was essential to return to the right track. After a win against Chapecoense, Goias' head coach Vagner Mancini said, "We knew that sooner or later we would win again. There was pressure, but it was our own, internally. We have a good team, and we are leading the championship, but internally, we knew that the result against Athletic was not what we expected. That is why it was important to win again and return to normality in Serie B. It was a victory against a difficult opponent, who is having a good campaign in Chapeco."

Goias should have a full squad for the game against Criciuma.

Criciúma

Criciuma team news

Head coach Eduardo Baptista has been in charge of Criciuma for almost two months. The team from Santa Catarina had some impressive results in that span. Baptista, in his recent interview, said, "When we started out, we talked about the system and the way of playing. Today, I'm happy that, in much the same way, the great forces in world football are playing with the same format, including in the Club World Cup. So, we're happy because without copying anyone, we were able to create some situations, and here it's not much different. Of course, I don't have much time for experiments, and we need immediate results to get results, but the fact of always continuing to create is important."

Marcinho is suspended and will not play in Goiania.
