On June 12, Estádio da Serrinha (Goiania) will host the match of the 10th round of the Brazilian Serie A, in which Goias will compete with Fluminense. The battle will start at 00:30 CET.
Goias
The team reached the final of the Copa Sudamericana once in 2010. To tell the truth, this is one of the few, albeit bright, exceptions. Generally speaking, “the Parrots” are relegated to the Serie B quite often, however, they managed not to get stuck there. As for such a team, the previous season was quite good – it brought the 13th place in the Serie A. Even the higher mentioned result was enough to start in the Copa Sudamericana again. The Brazilian club, starting with a couple of draws there, beat its opponents, intervening in the fight for the play-offs. The battle against Gimnasia from La Plata, which happened this week, ended in a goalless draw despite all efforts. At the same time, the team lost, albeit on penalties, its Copa do Brasil match to a no-name, Aguia, and a new start of the national championship brought 6 defeats out of 9 matches, including both previous ones: a 1-2 failure in the battle against Sao Paulo and a 0-1 misfire in the struggle with Cuiaba.
Fluminense
The club failed to take trophies in the previous season – they have not been won since the fourth and so far the last championship title in 2012. It finished in the 3rd place, which was a very significant achievement. Being on courage, the Brazilian team had a good start in the Copa Libertadores this spring, winning first 3 matches, and only then there was a defeat made by Strongest in Bolivia. The turning point, however, did not happen – River Plate beat the club from Brazil with a 2-0 score in the fifth round. Speaking about the inner arena, the results are more modest: 9 matches resulted in only 5 victories and 3 defeats (including the end of the spring – a 0-1 failure in the struggle with Botafogo and a 0-2 one in the confrontation with Corinthians). Moreover, the team stopped its way in the cup of the country after the battle against Flamengo.
The statistics of head-to-head matches
Goias managed to win in 2019, which happened twice. Still, Fluminense had got 4 victorious head-to-head matches in a row.
Predictions
Bookmakers give a noticeable advantage to the guests. At the same time, Fluminense, like Goias, is far from being perfect. Thus, it is reasonable to use a neutral bet on “total: under 2.5” (odd: 1.63).
