On Tuesday, October 8, Goiás will host Santos in the 30th round of Brazil's Serie B. The match preview and betting tips have been prepared by the Dailysports analysis team.
Goiás
At the start of the season, Goiás was considered one of the favorites to earn promotion. However, the "Parrots" currently sit in 12th place with 38 points, nine points behind the top four. They do have the advantage of two games in hand, but their recent form suggests it will be difficult to close the gap.
Goiás is in poor form, having won just one of their last seven Serie B matches—a 2-1 victory over Avaí in round 26. They drew 0-0 with Coritiba in their most recent game, and before that, they lost 0-1 to Mirassol. Over their last five matches, Goiás has earned only five points.
Santos
Santos, one of the most prestigious clubs in Brazil, finds itself in the second division for the first time in its history. Their goal is to immediately return to the top flight, and so far, they are on course to do so, sitting in second place with a six-point cushion over the fifth spot and a game in hand. Santos is just one point behind league leaders Novorizontino.
Santos comes into the match in excellent form, unbeaten in their last eight games. In their last five matches, they have won four times. Most recently, they defeated Operário 1-0, following a 1-1 draw with Novorizontino and a 1-0 win over Botafogo SP.
Match Facts
- Goiás has lost only one of their last six home matches.

Predicted Lineups
- Goiás: Tadeu, Messias, Lucas Ribeiro, Dege, Diego Caíto, Edson Felipe, Marcão, Juninho, Vásquez, Edu, Welinton

H2H
- In the 11th round of the current season, Santos defeated Goiás 2-0.
- Santos has won their last three meetings against Goiás.
Goiás vs Santos prediction
Santos is in great form, but playing against Goiás on their home turf is always a challenge. My bet is that both teams will score.
