Two sides in the Brasileiro Serie A relegation zone go head to head as Goias welcome Cuiaba to Estadio da Serrinha in their league Matchday 14 tie on Sunday.
Both sides have been struggling for form in Brasileiro and have made poor campaigns in the league so far, with Goias claiming just 14 points from 13 matches to sit 17th in the relegation zone, while Cuiaba have collected 13 points form 13 games and now sit 18th, three points above the bottom two.
Both sides have recording three victories so far this season and will both be looking for a fourth victory as they hope to climb out of the relegation zone. With the sides above being locked on points, at least two teams per separating points, these two have hopes of making out of the relegation zone, but they need start peeking up maximum points as soon as possible.
They both head into the match in poor forms with Goias failing to win any of their last five games across all competitions, while Cuiaba have are winless in their last three league matches and suffered three consecutive defeats on the road.
Both claimed 0-0 draws in their precious matches with Goias holding Atletico Go in the last 16 of the Copa do Brasil, while Cuiaba held Ceara in the league. With both looking to bounce back to winning ways on Sunday, makes it the encounter a really close one and we think we are in for a share of the spoils in the fixture.
