General match analysis
Vila Nova are very strong at home: they have won 75% of their home matches, scoring an average of 2.17 goals and conceding just 0.92 per game. Goiás average 1.00 goal away from home, fail to score in 31% of matches and win only 23% of their away fixtures, compared with a 38% loss rate. The hosts also create significantly better chances, as reflected by their average xG of 1.69 versus 1.15 for the visitors, while Goiás’s defence allows opponents an xG of 1.61. Current form also favours Vila Nova, who have scored 10 goals and recorded 3 wins in their last five matches, whereas Goiás have scored just 3 goals and lost 3 of their 5 games. The hosts’ superior attacking quality combined with the visitors’ poor scoring efficiency points to a Vila Nova win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The strongest signal points to BTTS - No, as Vila Nova recorded BTTS in only 23% of their matches this season, while neither of the last 5 games featured goals from both sides. Goiás has a higher 54% BTTS rate across the competition, but their current attacking form has clearly declined: they have scored just 3 goals in their last five matches, averaging 0.6 per game. The hosts have kept a clean sheet in 38% of their matches, while the visitors have failed to score in 31% of games, further supporting the scenario in which Goiás fails to find the net. Vila Nova are in good scoring form, averaging 2.0 goals in their last five matches, but their games still more often end with one team failing to score than with full BTTS. The low rate of 31% of both teams’ matches producing at least three goals, together with the league average of 2.3 goals, also points to a more closed game.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The match profile points to a moderate number of goals: Under 2.5 goals landed in 69% of matches involving both teams, while Under 3.5 goals occurred in 85% of Vila Nova’s games and 77% of Goiás’s. Vila Nova has the attacking edge, averaging 1.43 xG compared with Goiás conceding 1.61 xG, and has scored 10 goals in its last five matches. Goiás, however, remains ineffective away from home, scoring just 3 goals in its last five games, with an average of 0.6 goals per match. The hosts kept a clean sheet in 38% of their matches, while neither team regularly scores heavily: Vila Nova exceeded two individual goals in only 8% of matches, and Goiás did so in none. The projected total of 2.30 goals allows for a 2:0 or 2:1 result but clearly supports an Under 3.5 goals bet.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Vila Nova are in clearly better current form: they have averaged 2.0 goals and won 60% of their last five matches, while Goiás have scored just 0.6 goals on average and lost 60% of their games. The hosts were leading at the break in three of their last five appearances and averaged 1.0 first-half goal, compared with Goiás’s 0.4. Across the season, Vila Nova average 1.69 points per match and have a 54% win rate, compared with their opponents’ 1.08 points and 23% win rate. After the break, the hosts’ advantage remains significant: they average 0.54 goals in the second half, while Goiás concede as many as 1.0 goals and have won only 8% of second halves. The scenario in which Vila Nova lead at half-time and maintain their advantage to win is therefore most strongly supported by both their current form and Goiás’s weakness in the closing stages of matches.
