Bitesize Prediction: Goias vs Athletico-PR – 22/08/23

Competition: Serie A

Market: Both teams to score – No

Odds: 8/11 @ 1xBet

Hoping to secure back-to-back Serie A victories in the early hours of Tuesday, Goias will welcome Athletico-PR to the Estadio da Serrinha.

Starting with the hosts, while Goias might have seen their Copa Sudamericana adventure come to an abrupt end following a routine 5-0 aggregate defeat at the hands of Estudiantes earlier in the month, the Big Green are in the midst of an eye-catching domestic flurry. Managing to make an immediate return to winning ways last week as they claimed a gritty 1-0 victory away at America MG, Armando Evangelista’s men are unbeaten in each of their last five straight Serie A appearances – a run that stems back to July 9th. Skyrocketing themselves away from a looming relegation scrap and now with their sights set on breaking into the top-nine, Goias will now be looking to find some much-needed stability on home soil. Including a first-leg 2-0 loss against Estudiantes on August 9th, Tuesday’s hosts have mustered just one win from any of their last nine showdowns at the Estadio da Serrinha.

As for the visitors, although Athletico-PR might have opened August in the midst of a minor wobble, the Hurricanes have come roaring back. Last seen putting in a rugged performance on home soil as they landed a deserved 2-0 win against Cuiaba, caretaker boss Wesley Carvalho finds his temporary squad sat firmly in pole position to claim another top-six finish in 2023. Losing just one of their previous seven appearances across all formats – a run that stems back to a 2-0 defeat against Flamengo on July 13th – Atletico will be desperate to lay down a Serie A marker here. However, facing what could be another stern challenge outside of Parana, Tuesday’s guests have certainly shown some extended struggles on the road. Including a 1-0 loss at the hands of Fortaleza last month, it should be noted that Carvalho’s side have claimed just one victory from any of their last 10 battles away from the Arena da Baixada.
