Betting on Goiás Esporte Clube 2022 Série A games

Goiás has been a regular feature of Série A over the years and have been promoted to Latin America’s Copa Libertadores on two occasions and South America’s Copa Sudamericana six times. The club is located in Goiânia, which is the capital city of the Brazilian state of Goiás. Within Série A, the clubs’ main rivals are Atlético Goianiense, a match up which regularly sees them take the upper hand with what is perceived to be a more talented squad.

Their coach is Brazilian Jair Ventura, who, during his playing career, played in Brazil, France, Greece, and Gabon. After being sacked by league rivals Juventude after a poor start to the season, Ventura took the helm in April 2022 . Thankfully for Ventura and their fans, he has since been able to guide Goiás to relative mid-table safety, whereas Juventude remains rooted in a relegation battle.

Their home stadium is the relatively small Serrinha, which has a capacity of 14,450, but they also play several matches at the larger Estádio Serra Dourada, which can hold 50,049.

Despite having one of the lowest salary sheets in Série A, Verdão have had a good season and are still in with a chance of qualifying for the 2023 Libertadores.

If they are to reach their target, there are two men their fans will be hoping can maintain their form. Firstly, 25-year-old Pedro Raul. The striker is on loan from Japanese side Kashiwa Reysol and is currently one of the league’s top scorers, having bagged an impressive 15 goals by September. Secondly, another player on loan, this time from Água Santa, is the forward, Dadá Belmonte. Despite not finding the back of the net with the same regularity as Pedro Raul, he has one of the teams’ highest assist rates, so he is integral if they are going to cause teams trouble in the league as it reaches the closing stages.

Betting on Goiás Esporte Clube

If you’re drawn to Goiás, here are just a few suggestions for some noteworthy betting markets that you may wish to consider.

Time of first goal

To get this correct requires a lot of consideration as well as a healthy dose of luck. The bet type allows betters to select the 10-minute interval in which they feel the first goal of the game will be scored. For example, if you believe a match will be a close and cagey encounter with the result decided by a single goal, you may choose to stake a wager on the first goal being scored in the final ten minutes of the match. This may be a tricky market to get right, but the winnings can be rewarding. Will you be brave and take a risk, or perhaps you’ll consider one of the other safer opportunities listed below?

Goal in both halves

Here, the requirements are simpler. A wager is made that a goal will be scored in both halves, by either team or any player. It will include own goals as well as goals scored in injury time. With the need to be less specific, the odds will be reduced, but nevertheless, it still needs careful consideration in the context of the opponents that Goiás is up against.

Exact total goals

Here, the aim is to predict the exact number of total goals that will be scored in a given match. This will be calculated as the total goals scored by both teams. Therefore, if you place a claim for two goals, this could be achieved by a brace from Pedro Raul and Goiás, running out 2-0 winners against a particular opponent. Or the prediction of two goals could be achieved by the match selected ending in a cagey 1-1 draw.

Winning margin

A final bet type that will allow for greater flexibility as there will be multiple outcomes is predicting the winning margin in a match. It is seen by many as an alternative to the more specific correct score. In this market, a wager is placed on the exact goal difference between the two sides. For example, if a selection of +2 was made, the final score could be any of the following: 2-0, 3-1, or 4-2, amongst many others.

As you can see, there are a variety of match betting types to consider with varying degrees of risk. Keep a close eye on the form guide and statistics, and hopefully you will be able to make some successful bets as Goiás close out their Série A season.
