Cuiaba welcome Goias on Saturday, Aug 22 at 5:00 PM in a Serie B fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Cuiaba come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Goias travel in mixed form (2W 2D 1L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 10 previous meetings, Cuiaba lead 3–5 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Goias won 0–2.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Cuiaba a slight edge, but Goias are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
