Goias v Cuiaba Betting Tips [4 June 2023]

With only a point separating the lower-half clubs Goiás and Cuiabá, this league match at the Estádio da Serrinha could be a battle of equals. The 17th-placed hosts are in the bottom-four after eight rounds while the 15th-placed visitors are only marginally above. Goiás are coming off a successful midweek where they lifted the Copa Verde Trophy. Yet, their competitive form is not up to the mark with three defeats and a draw from their last six matches. In the league, it has been even poor for the hosts. They have won just once across their last six league matches, drawing once. Lack of goals has been a hurdle as their output of seven goals is among the worst in the league. They will hope for a turnaround of fortunes at home, having won two of the last three league games here.

Cuiabá aren’t any better in terms of goals – having scored only seven themselves. They are only a point better than their opponents, thanks to four points from their last two league matches. That has stopped a two-game losing streak for the visitors, who now need to plot a move up the table. Surprisingly, they have performed well on the road this season than at home. Six of their eight points in this campaign have come away from home, from their last three away matches. They do have a battle on their hands though, considering their away record against Goiás. In all three away head-to-head matches including one in the Copa Verde Trophy this year, Cuiabá have been defeated.
