Goias Vs Atletico Goianiens Tips and Prediction
Goias have experienced an improvement in their fortunes as they continue their quest to escape a relegation battle since drawing the away leg of their Copa do Brasil rivalry at the end of last month.
The team of Jair Ventura has won two of their last three Brasileiro games, with wins against Cuiaba and Athletico Paranaense sandwiching a 1-0 road loss to America-MG in the previous two weeks.
The Esmeraldino improved to 12th place in the competitive Serie A standings with their 2-1 victory over Athletico on Saturday, but they are still only two points above the relegation zone and three points ahead of their Goianiense opponents.
The recent Goias run, however, represents some of their best play of the 2022 season thus far. Prior to this recent run, they had won only one of their previous seven league games, collecting a maximum point.
It would be advantageous for Ventura’s club to advance to the cup quarterfinals against their old rivals in the middle of the week after they defeated Bragantino in a nail-biting penalty shootout to reach the fourth round for the first time since 2018.
In order to continue to the third round, Atletico Goianiense needed to retain their composure. After an aggregate draw, they defeated Cuiaba on penalties.
Similar tactics were used by Jorginho’s team to advance to the last eight of the Copa Sudamericana last week. They overcame a two-goal deficit against Olimpia of Paraguay to force a shootout, which they won.
The next round, which is scheduled to take place in early August, features an intriguing matchup with the Uruguayan team Nacional, but Atletico must first prioritize their forthcoming local games, particularly Wednesday’s championship game against Goias.
Dragao has struggled to go past this Copa level, though, since they haven’t reached the quarterfinals of Brazil’s national elimination competition for long.
Atletico, who is presently in the bottom four of the Brasileiro, suffered a loss to Santos at the weekend, extending their four-game winless road run. They now face a challenging task if they want to reach the cup quarterfinals with this outcome.
Conclusion
Atletico are on a good cup run and have a chance to win this Copa do Brasil game despite their subpar road record and league struggles.
Since Goias are not the most defensively stable squad, they should feel more confident because they can win by coming back to advance in the Copa Sudamericana.
