Atlético Goianiense vs Corinthians Prediction: Both teams need points

Atletico Goianiense and Corinthians occupy 18th and 17th places, respectively, and are in the relegation zone. It's not surprising, given that Atlético Goianiense climbed up to the Série A this year, and Corinthians only managed to save itself from relegation in the final rounds of last season. This game is important for both teams, which urgently need points, but a defeat for Corinthians could considerably affect the confidence of its players.

Atlético Goianiense

In Caxias do Sul, the Dragon fought until the end to avoid defeat against Juventude, although it lacked effectiveness. Atlético had 22 shots while the home team had 8, but failed to score a goal and ended up losing 1-0. After two straight wins, one for the Copa do Brasil and the other for the Brasileirão against Vitória, the first in the competition, the Goianos lost again. Corinthians is the next opponent, and although the club's name imposes respect, the Paulista team continues to show many flaws, so Atlético Goianiense will try to win.

Corinthians

The defeat at home to Botafogo in the last round left the fans worried, not just by the result but also by the team's poor performance. The Timão didn't play well and hardly created any danger for Botafogo's goal. Corinthians is in the Z4, the relegation zone, and the signs of a new season of misery are beginning to appear. There is little money and a lot of instability at the club, particularly in its leadership, which inevitably affects the players. The Paulistas can't afford to lose in Goiânia, or the noise surrounding the club will become unbearable.

Expert Betting Tips

It's not a game where you can say that one team has a better chance of winning than the other. Both are poorly ranked, anxious, and in need of points. Atlético Goianiense had good performances in the previous two rounds, both played on the road. It got its first league win against Vitória but lost the last match against Juventude. Corinthians had a bad game at home against Botafogo, losing too in the previous round like the Dragon. Any result is possible in this meeting between Goianos and Paulistas, but I'm leaning towards a draw.
