With qualification for round of 16 in sights, top-placed Goias will hope to pick up full points against bottom-placed Gimnasia on Thursday. This Group G Copa Sudamericana match between the Brazilian hosts and the Argentinian visitors will be played at the Estádio da Serrinha in Goiana. The hosts are unbeaten in their four matches of the competition this season, winning and drawing two each. Goias are coming off a 1-0 loss in the domestic league, which was just their second defeat across seven competitive matches. That latest loss came at home, which halted a three-game winning run in all competitions. All these wins came via a single-goal margin which indicates that there could be another tight encounter in the offing. The reverse fixture saw Goias win 2-0 which forms a sequence of ten games across their last 11 in this competition to produce under 2.5 goals.

Gimnasia are bottom of the standings with just a win from their first four matches. Incidentally, that came in their last match of this competition which has kept their season alive. Another win here and they could move closer to the top-two. That would make the final matchday critical, but Gimnasia need full points here to extend their fight. The visitors are coming off a 2-0 defeat in the domestic league though, which puts a question mark on their ability to conjure full points here. They have been consistently producing low-scoring games with their last eight competitive games seeing under 2.5 goals.
