Our view

Goias carry the better recent momentum, having scored twice in each of their last two wins, while Nautico have struggled for goals in consecutive defeats. The model's even split between home win and draw reflects how tight this fixture could be, but Goias' superior defensive record in the last 10 matches gives them the edge.

Most likely outcome: home win - Goias' recent scoring form and Nautico's two straight blank defeats point to a narrow home success.
