Goias vs Corinthians Prediction
Goias lies only one point behind Corinthians, having played a game less. A close match is expected, with players like striker Rafael Moura and midfielder Daniel Bessa looking likely to play key roles for Goias. Argentine forward Keko Villalva, who joined the club this year, could prove to be a vital player.
Corinthians, on the other hand, has experienced Brazilian internationals like goalkeeper Cassio and right-back Fagner in defence. However, former Manchester City and Everton striker Jo, who looks set to lead the line against Goias, will have to be at his predatory best if they are to get a positive result. This match could be fairly evenly matched and end in a draw.
Prediction: Goias 1-1 Corinthians
