Competition: Brazil Serie B
Market: Over 1.5 goals
Odds: 2/3 @ BetUS
Two sides who find themselves scrapping it out at the top of the Serie B standings, Novorizontino will welcome Goias to Sao Paulo late on Wednesday night.
Starting with the hosts, while Novorizontino might have found themselves in the midst of a sensational purple patch on either side of opening June, it is fair to say that Eduardo Baptista̢۪s side are seeking some recent stability. Eventually forced to settle for a 1-1 stalemate against Remo last week, the Sao Paulo-based outfit have mustered just a single victory from any of their previous five Serie B appearances. Nevertheless, knowing that they can jump into silver medal position here, the former Vila Nova boss will certainly be excited to make a return to home soil here. Last seen at the Jorjao collecting an eye-catching 3-1 victory against America MG, Wednesday̢۪s hosts have registered 13 points from their previous five showdowns in front of their own supporters Рa run that stems back to a 2-2 stalemate against Ferroviaria on May 1st. It should also be highlighted, Novorizontino last six home fixtures produce 18 goals at both ends of the pitch.
As for the visitors, putting in what was a rampant performance last week as they cruised their way to a 3-1 victory at home against Cuiaba, Goias have embarked on a major Serie B romp since opening up the 2025 campaign. Getting Wednesday̢۪s trip to Sao Paulo underway leading the chase at the top of the table, it is no secret that Vagner Mancini̢۪s men are pencilled in as a leading title contender this season. Signing off June with a 2-1 win away at fellow promotion hopefuls Chapecoense, the Big Green will be looking to lay down another heavyweight marker here. However, despite collecting 10 points from their last four Serie B outings, Goias will know the importance of finding some defensive stability. Falling to a shock 2-1 loss at home against Athletic Club on June 24th, Mancini̢۪s camp have mustered just a sole clean sheet from their previous six attempts.
