Why Bet on Goiás
Goiás has been having a great tournament thanks to its striker Pedro Raúl, who with 14 goals is Brasileirão’s top scorer and they are 9th in the tournament with 35 points, 7 less than Athletico Paranaense who is the one taking the last place in the pre-Libertadores, which is what the ‘Esmeraldino’ aspires to.
Jair Ventura’s team, which is the only club that only has Brazilian players on its roster, achieved 10 points from the last 12 after drawing with Avaí and beating Atlético Mineiro (0-1), Atlético Goianiense (2-1), and Santos (1-2), and thanks to that they got into the fight for the Libertadores, where they have only been able to qualify once, in 2006.
Pedro Raúl scored a brace in the last game against Santos and gave his team the victory, so he comes at a good moment that he hopes will continue this weekend.
Why Bet on Flamengo
Flamengo has just given a recital against Vélez in the Copa Libertadores, which earned them to reach the final and show that they are one of the best teams on the continent. However, in the league, they are still far from Palmeiras and have just missed a great opportunity against Ceará, so they hope not to repeat it this Sunday.
Flamengo’s unbeaten record extends to 17 games, counting all competitions since the last time they fell was on July 10, 2022, against Corinthians (1-0). For the Brasileirão, they have 7 wins and 2 draws in their last 9 games and are 7 points behind Palmeiras with 13 games to go. Keep in mind that a few days later they will be playing in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil against Sao Paulo.
Who will not be able to be in this match will be Gabigol, who received a red card in the last game against Ceará (1-1). However, Pedro, who scored 4 goals in the semi-final against Vélez, will be ready to continue demonstrating his goalscoring power.
