BettingRiver: Goias vs Bragantino (Serie B – Brazil) - GOIAS WIN

Evening All,

Not alot of opportunities over the weekend and a lack of time has meant I've not been able to post as much as I would have liked on the best I have placed. Still, they are all recorded on the site (www.bettingriver.co.uk) so feel free to have a look if your interested...

On to tonight's recommendation...Match analysis is below so thoughts and comments welcomed...

03th October 2012 – Goias vs Bragantino (Serie B – Brazil)

Goias are 3rd in the league and find themselves 5 points behind league leaders Vitoria. Goias have a very good attacking force to select from and it is that that has put them in the position to challenge for the league title. They have managed to score 45 goals and have only conceded 28 in 27 games so its been a combination of their defensive and offensive players that have kept them climbing the league.

Their current form is the best in the league having won 6, drawn 1 and lost 1 (a 3-1 loss away at leaders Vitoria) from their last 8 games. In their last outing, they managed to beat lowly Guaratingueta 3-0 away from home.

They are yet to be beaten at home this season and have won 9 and drawn 4 games scoring 20 and only letting in 7, which is the best defensive home record in the league.

Bragantino are at the other end of the table in 18th place with only 6 wins, 6 draws and 15 losses so far this season. They have the 3rd worst defence in the league and have conceded 44 goals so far this season. Even though they scoring on average, just over a goal a game, they also have the 3rd weakest attack in the league with only 29 goals scored.

Their recent run of games have seen them putting in the 3rd run in the league, with only 3 wins and 5 losses from their last 8 games. However, it is worth noting that their last two outings saw them pull off victories against mid table sides.

You can expect them to attempt to build upon these results as they set out their plan for tonight’s game and will be likely to setup to take a point from the game. Both of these recent victories were at home and on the road, things can be very different.

Their away form is poor as you would expect from a team in their position. They have only secured 2 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses so far scoring 8 goals (the lowest away record in the league) and conceding 19 goals in the process.

Their last away win was back at the beginning of August when they somehow managed to pull off a huge surprise victory when they beat current league leaders Vitoria 1-0 away from home.

Review

Goias are in fine form and will be expecting 3 points tonight to keep the pressure on the top two teams as they try and close the gap at the top. Bragantino have a terrible away record but have pulled out a surprise victory against the leaders so, on their day, they can get a result…However, based on their recent form, this is unlikely to happen but I have kept this in mind when it comes to staking for this game.
