General match analysis
Vila Nova is the favorite based on hard numbers: the visitors have scored 12 goals this season versus Goiás’s 7 and have netted 9 goals in the last 5 matches compared to the hosts’ 3. In the last 5 fixtures Vila Nova has 3 wins and 2 draws, averaging 2.2 points per game, while Goiás has 0 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses with just 0.2 PPG. Offensive metrics also favor the visitors — Vila Nova averages 13.67 shots and 4.33 on target per match with xG 1.49 away, whereas Goiás at home records 10 shots and 2 on target with xG 1.08. Defensively Goiás looks unstable: conceded 11 goals in the last 5 matches and has 33% of home games without scoring, while Vila Nova conceded 6 in the last 5 and has 0% of away games without a goal. Considering the advantage in goal form (9 vs 3), higher xG (1.49 vs 1.08) and superior PPG (2.2 vs 0.2), I rate an away win at 65% probability.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
A strong signal for BTTS - Yes is provided by Goiás' season BTTS 100% and Vila Nova's 67% versus a league average BTTS 51%, indicating an above-average likelihood of both teams scoring. In the last 5 matches Vila Nova has BTTS 80% and scored 9 goals (1.8 per match), while Goiás has BTTS 40%, scored 3 goals (0.6 per match) and conceded 11 goals (2.2 per match), showing Goiás' weaker offensive form but high vulnerability to conceding. xG shows 1.55 xG for Goiás and 1.49 xG for Vila Nova, and defensively Vila Nova allows 1.49 xG versus 1.02 xG allowed by Goiás, so both teams create and concede goal-scoring opportunities. Additionally Goiás averages 14.5 shots and 4.5 on target, and Vila Nova 13.67 shots and 4.33 on target with a conversion rate of 12%, confirming chances for both sides; Goiás has no clean sheets this season (CS 0%), which increases the probability of the opponent scoring. Considering Goiás' season 100% BTTS, Vila Nova's 67% BTTS, high xG and Vila Nova's 9 goals in the last 5 matches, I assign a 78% probability to BTTS - Yes and 22% to No Goal.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
I expect a total of around 2.78 goals: home xG is 1.55 versus the away defense xG conceded of 1.49, yielding 1.52 expected goals for Goiás; for Vila Nova the offensive xG 1.49 versus the home defense 1.02 gives 1.26, total 2.78. Goiás have 100% of home matches over 1.5 goals (seasonOver15Percentage_home = 100%), while Vila Nova have 67% away (seasonOver15Percentage_away = 67%), so Over 1.5 is very likely. Shot metrics support this projection: Goiás average 14.5 shots and 4.5 on target, Vila Nova 13.7 and 4.33, with a 12% shot conversion for both teams, which corroborates the realism of the 2.78 expected goals. Over 2.5 has moderate backing — Goiás have 75% of home games over 2.5, Vila Nova 33% away (avg ~54%), and xG=2.78 slightly exceeds the 2.5 threshold, so I estimate the probability of Over 2.5 at about 60%. Over 3.5 is unlikely (season values 25% for Goiás and 33% for Vila Nova and an expected total of 2.78), therefore I recommend Over 1.5 as the best bet.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
I predict a half-time draw with Goiás winning the match (X/1). I expect a draw at the break because Goiás scores only 0.25 goals on average in the first half and 50% of their home games are level at half-time, whereas Vila Nova led at the break in 33% of matches (0.25 vs 0.67 first-half goals). After the break Goiás is more dangerous — they average 1.5 goals in the second half and win the second half in 75% of home matches, while Vila Nova averages 1.0 second-half goals and wins 33% of second halves (1.5 vs 1.0; 75% vs 33%). Additionally, xG slightly favors the hosts: Goiás have an xG of 1.55 versus xG against of 1.02, while Vila Nova have xG 1.49 and xG against 1.49, suggesting the hosts create marginally better scoring chances. Although Vila Nova have won 3 of their last 5 matches (60%), the cumulative 0.25 vs 0.67 first-half, 1.5 vs 1.0 second-half and the higher xG make X/1 the strongest and most probable signal, with realistic alternatives being X/X and 2/1.
