General match analysis
Goiás have a clear home advantage: they have won 54% of their home matches, while Avaí win just 21% of their away games and lose as many as 64% of them. The hosts also create better chances, averaging 1.43 xG at home compared with Avaí’s 1.07 xG away, while also registering 13.23 shots per match versus 10.07 for their opponents. Goiás concede an average of 1.08 goals at home, whereas Avaí allow opponents 1.57 goals and as much as 1.81 xG away from home. Current form also favors the hosts, who have collected 7 points from their last five matches, compared with just 4 for the visitors, who have suffered three defeats. However, Goiás’ low scoring output—0.92 goals at home and 38% of matches without scoring—still increases the realistic risk of a draw.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The signal for both teams to score is moderately positive: the seasonal BTTS rate is 43% for Goiás and 57% for Avaí, while the league average is 48%. Goiás should have favorable conditions to find the net, as Avaí concede an average of 1.57 goals and allow opponents an xG of 1.81, compared with the hosts’ xG of 1.43. Avaí’s chances are boosted by Goiás’ recent defensive record: Goiás have conceded 1.2 goals per game across their last five matches, while their xG against has risen to 1.77. On the other hand, the visitors have scored just 0.8 goals per game in their last five matches, so the BTTS edge is limited, but still stronger than the scenario in which one team fails to score.
