Match highlights
PremiumMatch analysis
Criciuma vs Goias on 15 August is priced Under 3.5 goals at 1.19, with the model's probability at 77 percent. Goias carry the better numbers going forward, a 6.0 attack rating against Criciuma's 5.1 defence rating, but all three of their previous meetings have stayed low scoring.
Goias have scored twice in two of their last five, both away from home
Goias drew 2-2 at CRB on 12 July and won 2-1 away at Ponte Preta a week later, either side of a 1-1 draw with Sport Recife, though they were held to a single goal in their other two outings, a 1-0 win at Londrina on 10 August and a 0-1 loss at America Mineiro. Criciuma have been tighter at home, following wins over Vila Nova 2-0 and Novorizontino 1-0 with a scoreless draw against Nautico Recife and a 0-2 loss away at Athletic Club most recently. All three meetings between these sides have stayed low scoring too, Goias winning 1-0 in April, Criciuma losing 1-2 in October 2025 and their first meeting finishing 1-1.
Goias' two-goal games are the risk here
Goias' 2-2 draw at CRB and 2-1 win at Ponte Preta both show their attack can produce two goals in one match. If either of those returns and Criciuma add a goal of their own, something they have done in three of their last five, the total goes past 3.5. It would break from the pattern the head to head has shown, but it is the realistic route this loses.
