Náutico will be hoping to return to winning ways here following the 4-3 Serie B defeat last time out to Vila Nova.
For Náutico, goals were scored by Dodozinho (36') and Vinícius (65'). Janderson (4', 18') and Luís (8') scored for Vila Nova.
It’s been seldom in recent games where Náutico have shown defensive steel. In fact, Náutico have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 11 goals on the way. It will be interesting to see if that trend can be sustained here.

Prediction
It looks to us that Náutico will, in all likelihood, get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.
Conversely, Goias will be up against it to score themselves but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be scoring here.
We’re tipping a pretty comfortable 3-1 margin for Náutico when the full-time whistle blows.
