Cuiaba vs Atletico Goianiense: History Points to Low-Scoring Game
Cuiaba and Atletico Goianiense both come into this match on the back of low-scoring league games. With both teams defending well and their recent head-to-head record also pointing to few goals, the under looks the standout option.
Cuiaba lined up in a 3-4-2-1 in their last league match, with Pepe leading the line and Can Anguistien and Son Dias operating as the two attacking midfielders behind him. However, they fell behind midway through the first half.
Cuiaba made several personnel and tactical changes early in the second half in an attempt to turn the game around, but they conceded again midway through the period and eventually lost 2-0, leaving empty-handed.
Atletico Goianiense used a 4-4-2 in their last league outing, with Marloni and Leo Jigo tasked with finding goals up front, while Giovani Soares and Guilherme attacked from the wings. The entire attacking unit failed to score, but goalkeeper Paulo Victor was one of the main reasons they managed to preserve a draw.
For Cuiaba, forwards Eliel and Hernandez are injured, while there are no suspensions. Atletico Goianiense have no reported injuries or suspensions.
Cuiaba lost 2-0 away to Juventude in their last league match, suffering their first defeat in four league games. Even so, their home form remains solid, especially defensively, and they can still look to build from a stable base here.
Atletico Goianiense drew 0-0 at home with Atletico Clube in their last league match, making it two straight league games unbeaten without conceding. With recent head-to-head meetings between these sides also tending to be low-scoring, the under on total goals looks the preferred pick.
