Serie B Brazil
On November 9, 2026, Goiás and Ponte Preta will meet in the 37th round of Brazil's Serie B. There is little the visitors can do to turn their situation around.
Goiás vs. Ponte Preta team news and expert analysis
The club from Goiânia fell literally one point short of returning to the top division last season, eventually finishing sixth with 61 points. This campaign, the number of defeats is almost equal to the number of wins, and the team has slipped into the middle of the standings, despite improving in the autumn. In particular, Goiás defeated both Ceará and CRB in recent rounds.
The team from Campinas won Serie C last season. However, they have proved completely uncompetitive one tier higher. Suffice it to say that they have managed just three wins all season. Although in October the underdogs took points from their opponents several times by playing out draws, they once again lost to Criciúma.
Caio and company average 1.06 goals scored, while conceding 1.14 per game. The underdogs are bottom of the table for good reason: they score just 0.58 goals per match and concede 2.17.
