Prediction published on 22/04/2023, 08:20  by Devesh Jaganath in Football Predictions

Matchweek two of the Brazilian Serie A will get underway this weekend, with Goias playing host to Corinthians on Sunday night. Corinthians are in 7th place after their first match, which ended in a 2-1 win over Cruzeiro last week. Over the course of last season, Corinthians recorded nine wins, eight draws, and nine losses in 26 matches on the road and come into this one having lost their match 1-0 against Argentinos Juniors on Thursday night in the Copa Libertadores. Before that, the hosts were involved in the Copa do Brasil and lost the first leg 2-0 to Remo-PA, who they will play at home in the week. Corinthians are unbeaten in their last six encounters against this opponent and will be very confident that they can extend that record with another win in this match.

Meanwhile, Goias suffered a 2-0 defeat in their opening match against Athletico Paranaense, which sees them come into this match third-from-bottom in the current Serie A standings. The hosts followed up with a 2-2 draw in the Copa Sudamericana in midweek against Universitario, bringing their tally to three losses in their last five matches in all competitions. Goias did well in pre-season while competing in the Goiano 1 tournament and made it all the way to the final but fell at the final hurdle, losing 5–4 on penalties to Atletico Goianiense at the start of the month. Over the course of last season, the visitors were not great at home, with a record of 10 wins, eight draws, and eight losses in their 24 matches at Estadio de Haile Pinheiro. The hosts have shed lots of goals in pre-season and will need to tighten up in defence if they are to take anything from this match.
