Match description
Fortaleza holds a clear advantage in home metrics: at home they win 67% of matches, remain undefeated (0% losses) and average 1.67 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. In the last 5 matches the hosts have scored 8 goals and average 2.2 points per game, while Goiás have only 3 goals in their last five and average 0.8 points per game. The visitors struggle massively on the road: 0% wins, 67% losses, 67% of away games without scoring and an average of only 0.67 goals scored and 1.67 conceded per away match. Despite higher average possession (57% vs 47%), Goiás fail to convert possession into quality chances — the visitors’ average xG is 1.17 versus Fortaleza’s 1.30, and shot conversion rate is 6% vs 13% in favor of the hosts. Considering Fortaleza’s efficiency (13% conversion and 3.33 shots on target), better defensive record at their stadium (1.00 goals conceded on average) and Goiás’ poor away form, I predict a home win.
