General match analysis
Goiás has a clearly stronger home profile: they win 58% of their home matches, while Fortaleza wins only 23% of their away fixtures. The hosts average 1.00 goals and create chances worth 1.46 xG at home, whereas Fortaleza scores just 0.62 goals per away game and fails to score in 46% of its matches. The visitors’ defense is effective, conceding an average of 0.92 goals and recording clean sheets in 46% of away matches, but it allows opponents 1.67 xG per game. Fortaleza remains unbeaten in its last five matches, but drew four of them, which, together with its 38% away draw rate, increases the likelihood of a closely contested game. Goiás’ slight advantage is based on home-field advantage, a higher number of shots on target per match—3.83 compared with 3.08—and more consistent attacking chance creation.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The stronger signal points to BTTS - No, as Fortaleza scores just 0.62 goals per match on average and fail to score in 46% of their games. Goiás keep a clean sheet in 42% of matches, while Fortaleza record BTTS in only 31% of their outings, well below the league average of 48%. Both teams have also played cautiously in their last five league matches: Goiás scored 4 and conceded 4 goals, while Fortaleza scored 5 and conceded just 3. Although Fortaleza’s latest xG stands at 1.61, their low conversion rate of 5%, combined with the hosts’ solid defence, limits the chances of both sides scoring. The most likely scenario is therefore that at least one team, primarily Fortaleza, will fail to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Fortaleza show very low attacking potential away from home, averaging just 0.62 goals scored, while failing to find the net in 46% of matches. Goiás concede an average of 0.83 goals at home and keep a clean sheet in 42% of matches, significantly limiting the visitors’ chances of adding to the scoreline. The teams’ last five matches were even more conservative: Goiás recorded a 4:4 goal tally, while Fortaleza posted 5:3, with only 20% and 0% of matches respectively going Over 2.5 goals. Across the season, only 17% of Goiás matches and 8% of Fortaleza matches went Over 3.5 goals, while 83% and 92% respectively finished Under this line. The hosts should have the attacking edge, but the 1.25:0.75 projection points to a clear preference for Under 3.5 goals.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Goiás win 67% of their home matches and score an average of 1.67 goals, while Fortaleza score just 0.62 goals away from home and lose 38% of their matches. The hosts led at the break in 42% of their games, rising to 60% across their last five, whereas Fortaleza went into half-time behind in as many as 38% of their away fixtures. Goiás hold a clear edge in chance creation: their average xG stands at 1.87 compared with their opponents’ 1.25, and they register 5.58 shots on target per match against Fortaleza’s 3.08. In addition, the visitors failed to score before half-time in 77% of their away matches, further supporting the scenario of the hosts taking a one-goal lead in the first half. Fortaleza’s recent form has been stable, with four draws in their last five matches, but their low away-scoring efficiency points to Goiás maintaining their advantage through to full-time.
