Vitória vs Atlético Goianiense Prediction: Both teams looking for their first win

Baianos and Goianos have just one point from five games and desperately need a win. Both sides have a game in hand in a league with a chaotic start, with many games postponed. The natural disaster in Rio Grande do Sul that prevented Grêmio, Internacional, and Juventude from playing for weeks has aggravated the usual scheduling problems in the Brasileirão. It's not just the Rio Grande do Sul teams that have more than one game postponed. Criciúma, for example, has three games in hand. 

Vitória

The club's management decided to replace Léo Condé, the coach who promoted the team to the Série A, with Thiago Carpini, the young manager who started the season with São Paulo. In Carpini's debut, Vitória lost 2-1 at home to Botafogo in a Copa do Brasil match. The Baianos are out of the cup as they had already lost the first leg in Rio de Janeiro. The game with Atlético Goianiense is significant for the Lion as it is against a direct rival in the fight against relegation.

Atlético Goianiense

The Dragon qualified for the last 16 of the Copa do Brasil by beating Brusque 4-2 at home. The Goianos had already won 1-0 in the first leg. In the Brasileirão, Atlético is in the same situation as Vitória. The anxiety of the two teams promoted from the Série B will only diminish when they get their first win in the elite division. This game could be decisive for the near future of both clubs. Atlético Goianiense's only point came in Porto Alegre, in a 1-1 draw against Internacional. In the other away match, the Goianos lost by just one goal. Both results indicate they feel more comfortable in defense, giving the opponent control of the game.

Expert Betting Tips

It should be an even match between two teams eager to get their first win in the Brasileirão. Atlético Goianiense won its Copa do Brazil match and may be slightly more confident. Vitória will need the support of their passionate fans to beat a well-known opponent from the Série B. The home side hasn't been performing well, but the atmosphere at the Barradão could help. I'm going for a Double Chance for Vitória with a maximum of three goals scored in the game.
