⭐ Editorial Prediction
The shape of this match is defined by Avaí's need to take risks to rescue their situation and Goiás's motivation to pick up points.

That statistic, combined with the visitors' motivation to push forward even at the cost of defensive exposure, increases the likelihood of both sides scoring. Editorial prediction: Both Teams to Score - Yes.
