Palmeiras vs Goias Prediction: Verdao's win in a low-scoring match

The pool of the 21st round of the Brazilian football championship will continue with the encounter between Palmeiras and Goias. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Corinthians failed to win yesterday, drawing away against Avai, but Flamengo won in Sao Paulo, and now Palmeiras' lead over Mengao has been reduced to six points. For the upcoming match, their goal is to win. However, Palmeiras has a crucial game against Atletico Mineiro in the Libertadores Cup, and the match in the international arena is a high priority for the future hosts. It should be noted that Palmeiras' home statistics are fourth in the division; if they win on Sunday, Palmeiras will move into second place.

Goias beat Coritiba 1:0 in the Serie A last round; before that, the visitors had failed to win four games in a row. Goias was eliminated from the Brazilian Cup by Atletico Go. They had draws with Juventude and Sao Paulo in the national championship and a defeat by Fluminense. Ahead of Sunday's pool, Goiás is in 13th position in the Serie A standings, with 25 points. The gap from the relegation zone is five points, and the gap from the South American Cup zone is counted by goal difference. Goiás' away statistics are 15th in the division, +2=3-5, 9:14 goal difference.

Even though there is a clear favorite in our pairing, our first bet for the game will be on the option of TU (2.5). First, Palmeiras has a crucial match in three days for the Libertadores Cup, and we doubt that the Verdao coaching staff will field their strongest squad for the game against Goiás, which will, of course, have an impact on the results. Secondly, the clash between Palmeiras and Goias has been low-scoring. In terms of the outcome, Verdao looks very strong against Goiás, even if they play a half team, so it's hard to doubt the final positive result for the home side.
