Ponte Preta desperately need points on Saturday, Jul 18 at 9:00 PM in the Serie B. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Ponte Preta come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5). Goias, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Ponte Preta and Goias have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–4D–3W). Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.

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