Cuiaba - Atletico Goianiense predictions and free betting tips [22/06/2024]

In Sunday's Brazilian Serie A match on 23 June, the 11th round will see "Cuiabá" host "Atlético Goianiense" at the Arena Pantanal. Petit's men clinched two consecutive clean sheets and moved out of the relegation zone, whereas the red-blacks were defeated by "Criciúma" last week, dropping to 16th in the standings. 

Stadium

The match will be held at Arena Pantanal in Cuiabá.

Cuiabá

"Cuiabá" has recovered from a poor start to the season by securing back-to-back clean sheet victories over "Fortaleza" (5:0) and "São Paulo" (0:1). The latter win ended São Paulo's seven-match unbeaten streak in the league, settled by Eliel's solitary late goal in the 83rd minute. Consequently, the team has ascended to 13th place and is vying for a Copa Sudamericana spot, trailing 12th-placed Fortaleza by three points.

Petit’s squad is optimistic, having kept consecutive clean sheets at home against "Vitória" (0:0) and "Fortaleza" (5:0). Notably, they rank 13th in home performances with 10 points from 10 home games. "Cuiabá" consistently scores over a goal per game this season but also concedes frequently (1.5 per game, the worst among the top 15 teams). 

Atlético Goianiense

"Atlético Goianiense" is struggling to meet top-tier standards. Jair Ventura's men took the lead against "Criciúma" last midweek, but Newton equalised around the hour mark, and a spectacular late free-kick by Miguel Trauco in the 13th minute of stoppage time gave "Tigres" all three points. On the road, Atlético performs better than at home, evidenced by two victories in their last three away games.

Having avoided defeat in three of their last five away matches (1:1 against "Internacional", 2:0 over "Vitória", and 2:1 over "Fluminense"), Ventura’s squad aims to climb from 16th place. Notably, they rank 7th in away points—seven points from five matches with five goals scored and four conceded. Encouragingly, the red-blacks scored seven goals in their last five matches, the fifth-best in the division. 

Head-to-Head

Interestingly, the last five meetings between these teams have all ended in draws!

Prediction for Cuiabá vs Atlético Goianiense
