Prediction published on 01/07/2022, 07:07  by Ioannis in Football Predictions

America MG clash with Goias at the Raimundo Sampaio for the fifteenth round of the Brazilian Serie A. America are currently occupying the last relegation spot and will be desperately searching for the win against Goias who are hovering in the mid table places. The hosts will be brimming with joy after they easily saw off Botafogo to take a definitive first step towards the quarter finals of the cup. The situation when it comes to the league however is much more dire. No wins in their last five and not even one goal scored in those games has the alarm bells ringing for the Mineiro team. It is indicative of their profligacy in front of goal that they have only scored three goals in their last seven league games. They tend to slightly improve at home, where they have three wins and two draws in their last six, also keeping three clean sheets. They have also lost just once to Goias in their four home meetings against them.

Goias enter this fixture in mixed form. They might have won against Cuiaba last time out, yet that was their first win after six winless games. They tend to keep things pretty tight at the back while they are not known for their efficiency in front of goal. Consequently, five of their last six games have featured Under 2.5 goals, while away from home this trend has been confirmed in six of their last seven. They are usually dangerous away from home, having picked up wins against Botafogo and Atletico Goianense in the league, as well as Bragantino to knock them out of the cup. Their attack however is not that strong on the road, having scored just six times in their seven league away games.
