Goias (Position 14th N.9-I.11-H.11 Term.33-40)
They may have lost 4-2 away to Internazionale, but they fought the game as hard as they could. At half time it was 2-2. Each time they conceded a goal and responded almost immediately. But the quick goal they conceded in the 2ο part they failed to answer it and fell fighting. Now they are at +8 from the stay but also at -2 from exiting the international cups. With seven (7) matches left to end the championship, they want victory more than anything tonight for many reasons! One of them to stop the streak of six (6) games without a win! Caetano (A.23comp/1g), Sávio (A.9comp) and Dieguinho (M.28comp/1g) will also be absent.
Corinthians (3rd Place L.15-I.9-H.7 Term.38-30)
In the league they are at -3 from 2η position and at +3 from 5η position. The goal now is the top 4 and winning the cup. A Cup that the 1th a final took place and ended 0-0, in which however they were not better than their rival Flamengo. On Thursday 20/10 the replay will take place and for this reason the coach has announced that he will line up a substitute 11. Let's remember that Corinthians has to win away from home in an official match from 25.7.2022, i.e. almost three (3) months! Apart from all the essentials that will be missing, no major absence is mentioned.
Goias certainly has many reasons to win. And maybe if he does, he will change plans later, from a simple save to an exit to the cups. Corinthians can't win easily with the main players, will they do it with the "secondaries"? If it wasn't for Goia's poor delivery (last win 2006) I'd go ace now I'm going cautious with 1DNB.
