The 2023 Brasileirao season is still in full swing, and, with each passing day, the teams are becoming more and more connected, and several of them have reached their optimum performance. However, others have not yet been able to make a breakthrough and need to wake up as soon as possible to avoid being relegated.
As we have mentioned on different occasions, Botafogo continues to demonstrate their incredible level of play, and, at the moment, there seems to be no one stopping them at the top of the standings. On the other hand, the middle of the table is very compact, so much so that the difference between Paranaense (8th) and Cuiabá (13th) is only four points.
At the bottom of the table, the standings are also tight. However, these teams are moving dangerously far away from the first 12 places, and, most worryingly, they are sinking into the last four places, which grants a direct ticket to the second division of Brazilian soccer.
Now, in this 16th round of the Brasileirão, we will have a very important match between Goiás and Cruzeiro.

Sunday, July 23 at 03:00 PM ET at Estadio Raimundo Sampaio

Why Bet on the Goiás?
Goiás comes into matchday 16 of the Brasileirão with the firm conviction of returning to winning ways to get out of the relegation places. The Alviverdes are in 17th place in the general classification table with a terrible record of 3 wins, 3 draws, and 9 defeats.
Furthermore, the Esmeraldina squad has only scored 14 goals in the 15 games they have played while conceding 26. There is no doubt that it is a general problem that they have so far this season, and if not solved, they could sink much further down the table.
Goias come into this match on the back of three defeats and a draw in their last four games, the last being a 0-0 draw against Atletico Mineiro.
Why Bet on the Cruzeiro?
On the other hand, we have Cruzeiro, a team playing a somewhat irregular season, but they are still in the TOP 10 of the general classification table.
The Black Beast currently occupies the tenth place in the standings, with a record of 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 defeats. On the other hand, it is worth noting that, although they have had some difficulties in scoring goals, as they have only scored 16 in 15 games, their main virtue is their defense, as they are the second team that has conceded the fewest goals (11) so far this season. As a result, if the team wakes up offensively, they are likely to start climbing up the table.
Cruzeiro enter this match after a 0-0 draw against Coritiba.
