👉 Our prediction is: Avaí to win

Goiás vs Avaí is a tough match to call, with both teams looking so comparable in our evaluations. But despite the disadvantage of being the away side, we are picking Avaí to win on the 1X2 market.

We find Avaí's odds to win outright to be quite good value as the away side. Their away numbers suggest they have the ability to pull off a surprise at Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro (Serrinha).

👉 Our prediction is: Goiás to win the 1st half

While the half-time market is not a particularly popular betting market, it does provide a good deal of value. And this is true for Goiás vs Avaí, where we have Goiás to win the first half as our best bet.

Goiás has been quite a fast starter at home as they quickly put the pressure on their visitors in the opening minutes. That strategy should lead to a Goiás taking an advantage into half-time.
