Santos vs Goias Prediction

Santos Form

In their last three matches, Santos lost 0-2 against Corinthians, 2-3 against Flamengo and 3-0 against Cuiaba. Santos managed to win two of their past six home matches in the Serie A. In the remaining four, they drew two and lost two, as they scored nine and conceded eight goals.

They were regarded as contenders for a medal, but to achieve that Santos will have to raise their level.

Goias Form

Goias added four points to their collection in their last three matches, which began with a 2-2 draw with Fluminense. A 0-1 win against Vasco da Gama followed, before a 2-0 defeat against Red Bull Bragantino in their most recent match. Goias managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Serie A. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring eight time and letting in three.

Few people saw Goias at the fun end of the table this season, but they are displaying a great form right now.

Santos need the support of their home crowd at Urbano Caldeira Stadium after suffering defeat twice in recent matches. We fancy them to rise to the occasion and claim a win.

Santos won ten points from their last five encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won three, scored seven and let in four goals. Goias earned two wins and seven points from their past three matches against teams placed in the bottom six of the Serie A table. They scored five and allowed two goals against on their way. Santos enjoy a record of three wins, four draws and six defeats in the Serie A this season. Goias are looking at three wins, two draws and seven defeats in the Serie A.
