View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
I’m backing BTTS - No, as both teams scored in just 27% of Novorizontino’s matches, compared with 53% of Goiás’s games. The home side failed to score in 40% of matches, while the visitors did so in 33%, increasing the likelihood that one team will finish without a goal. Average goals scored also support a cautious pick: 0.93 for Novorizontino and 1.07 for Goiás. However, the signal is not conclusive: BTTS landed in 80% of the home side’s last 5 matches, and their average xG was 1.98. Despite this recent attacking improvement, the season data gives a slight edge to the scenario in which at least one team fails to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The strongest signal is Under 3.5 goals: this line was not exceeded in 87% of Novorizontino’s matches and 73% of Goiás’s games. Both teams also finished with no more than two goals in 67% of their matches, while their combined average of goals scored and conceded is 2.00 and 2.40 per game, respectively. The last five matches point to some improvement in the hosts’ attacking potential—they averaged 1.6 goals scored with an xG of 1.98—making the 2.5 line less convincing. A forecast of around 1.35 goals for Novorizontino and 0.95 for Goiás gives a total of 2.30, supporting the Under 3.5 goals pick despite the hosts’ improved attacking form.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest signal that Novorizontino will lead at the break comes from the last five matches: the hosts were ahead after 45 minutes in two of them, while Goiás were trailing at half-time in three of five and failed to score in the first half in four of five. Over this period, Novorizontino averaged 1.2 goals before the break, while Goiás conceded 0.8, reinforcing the scenario of an early lead for the hosts. Novorizontino’s season-long advantage supports them holding on to that lead: they have won 53% of their matches compared with Goiás’s 27%, and their xG is 1.56 against 1.63 xG conceded by their opponents. Caution is warranted, however, as Goiás led at the break in 40% of their matches this season, making a draw at half-time followed by a home win a high-probability option as well. The 1/1 pick is therefore not certain, but it combines Novorizontino’s improved first-half performances with their clearly superior full-time record.
