Goiás vs Palmeiras: the Visiting Team to Win in a Productive Match

After failing in the first round of the season, Palmeiras will do everything possible to win in Goiânia. Not without reason, bookmakers put the visiting team as the favorites, with the odds on the club from Sao Paulo continuing to drop.

Goiás

Goiás had a terrible finish to their state championship and an equally terrible start to the Brazilian championship. Specifically, the hosts lost first to Ipora in the second semifinal, but advanced to the final of the state championship, where they lost twice to Atlético GO 0:1 and 2:3. In the championship of Brazil, Goias started in Curitiba, where they were weaker than the local team Coritiba. The score was 0:3, Goias completely failed not only in score, but also in statistics, not shooting even once.

Palmeiras

Palmeiras has already won the Recopa against Athletico Paranaense, the Paulista Championship by defeating Sao Paulo in the final, won two matches in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores and sensationally lost to Ceará in the first round of the Brazilian Serie A. What is doubly surprising is that Palmeiras despite failing to South America's strongest team in terms of possession, won against the Greens in the number of shots. Overall, Ceará had a great match, there is no doubt that the black and white are in great shape. The loss in the first round of the Serie A forces Palmeiras to play exclusively to win in the second round.

Expert Betting Tips

The first and main option is a combo bet on the victory of Palmeiras with a TO (1.5). Sao Paulo has problems with the results in Goiânia. However, at the moment the opponents are on the different levels, Palmeiras needs a win in the championship after the loss to Ceará. Palmeiras is in pretty good shape, otherwise how else would we explain the 8:1 thrashing of the club Independiente Petrolero in the second round of the Copa Libertadores 3 days ago. There is no doubt that Palmeiras will win on Saturday, as well as that the teams will score at least two goals.

 Sao Paulo in Goiânia has regular problems. So it is unlikely to expect an easy walk from the upcoming game, which means that it would be logical to bet on a close victory for Palmeiras.
