Ferroviaria — Goias : Match Preview and Prediction for September 24,2025

Ferroviária’s Recent Form

Looking at Ferroviária’s recent matches, it’s simply a parade of goals! The facts are clear: in 6 out of the last 7 games involving this team, three or more goals were scored. This isn’t a coincidence; it’s a clear pattern. Their last away game against Avaí ended in a 2:2 draw, before that was a 1:2 home defeat to Novorizontino, and a 0:4 thrashing by Coritiba.

Defensive Vulnerabilities

The team concedes a lot. A lot. Statistics confirm: Ferroviária leads the league in the number of goals conceded over the last 5 rounds – a staggering 10 goals found their net. That’s an average of two per game. At the same time, they also score, as seen in the game against Avaí, which saw 4 goals.

Coaching Philosophy and Outlook

The team has a new coach, Claudinei Oliveira. He himself states that he won’t make drastic changes and will try to preserve what has already been established. This means we will see the same open play that leads to high-scoring games. Defense is their weak point, and it can’t be fixed in a couple of days, especially before facing the league leaders.

Goiás: League Leaders and Attacking Prowess

Goiás is the leader of Serie B. The team is in first place and possesses potent attacking potential. In their last game against Paysandu, they secured a minimal victory, but context is everything. That match was played with a significantly weakened squad due to suspensions.

Squad Reinforcements

Now, the situation is changing drastically. A whole group of key players are returning to action. Immediately 7 players are back in the squad, including attacking maestros like Anselmo Ramon and Wellington Rato. This means Goiás is entering the field practically at full strength, something we haven’t seen in recent rounds.

Offensive Statistics and Strategy

Their season statistics speak for themselves. Goiás ranks third in the league for the number of matches in which they scored at least twice. And in counter-attack goals, they are the best in the tournament. Such attacking power, reinforced by returning leaders, is simply bound to exploit Ferroviária’s defensive problems.
