Bitesize Prediction: Atletico GO vs Tombense – 08/08/23

Competition: Brazil Serie B

Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 2/5 @ BetUS

Two sides who find themselves seeking some much-needed Serie B stability, Atletico GO will welcome Tombense to the Antonio Accioly in the early hours of Tuesday.

Starting with the hosts, after losing their Serie A status last season following a nightmare top-half campaign, Atletico GO have certainly struggled to find their feet in 2023. Last seen putting in another worrying performance as they slumped to a 2-1 loss at the hands of CRB, the Dragons almost find themselves sat in Serie B limbo this time around. While the Goiania-based outfit might have shocked many last month as they claimed a thrilling 3-1 victory against Sport Recife, that result appears to have just been a minor boost. Mustering only a single win from any of their previous eight showdowns against Serie B opposition – a run that stems back to June 23rd – the midweek hosts have also gained a reputation for their lively outcomes. Including a pair of action-packed 2-2 stalemates against Mirassol and Novorizontino, Atletico GO have mustered only one second-tier clean sheet over the past 10 weeks. Likewise, it should also be noted, the Dragons have seen just their last three appearances on home soil produce 12 goals.

As for the visitors, although Tombense might have claimed a much-needed boost last month, it is fair to say that Marcelo Chamusca’s men have come crashing back down to earth. Now collecting just a single point from any of their last three Serie B appearances, the Whites find themselves at the heart of a relegation scrap this season. Continuing to struggle with their consistency since opening the 2023 campaign, the Minas Gerais-based outfit have also gained a reputation for their struggles on the road. Including a routine 2-0 defeat at the hands of Mirassol last month, the former Ponte Preta boss has seen his inconsistent squad lose three of their last four Serie B showdowns away from the Almeidao. With the two sides playing out a 1-1 draw when they last met back on April 29th, we are once again expecting over 1.5 goals in the early hours of Tuesday.
