Novorizontino host Atletico Goianiense at the Dr. Jorge Ismael de Biase on July 4 in a Série B Regular Season fixture with real table implications. Sitting 10th with 16 points from 10 games, Novorizontino have a clear shot at closing the gap on the playoff spots, while Atletico Goianiense sit 14th on 15 points and need a result to avoid drifting further down. One number that stands out: Novorizontino have scored exactly 2 goals in each of their last two wins, showing a reliable attacking floor at home.
Luís Oyama has been the engine in Novorizontino’s midfield, contributing a goal and 42 passes in his most recent appearance, making him the most influential player on the home side. For Atletico Goianiense, Gustavo Coutinho is the name to watch, having scored both goals in the win over Ponte Preta, with 5 shots and strong hold-up play across 90 minutes.
Hot stat: Atletico Goianiense have kept just one clean sheet in their last five matches and conceded four goals in a single game against Athletico PR, pointing to a defense that can be punished by a Novorizontino side averaging 2 goals per game in their recent home run.

Novorizontino vs Atletico Goianiense Prediction
Novorizontino are the right side to back here. Their 100% win rate over the last 30 days, combined with home advantage and a form string that reads W-W-D-W-L-L-D-W-D-L-W-D-W-W from the right, puts them in a stronger position than the odds might suggest at around 1.91. Atletico Goianiense’s recent form tells a different story, with their last five results reading L-L-W-W-D-D-D-W-L-D-D-L-D-D-W, a sequence that shows inconsistency and a tendency to draw rather than win.
Novorizontino play a structured 4-2-3-1 that compresses space in midfield and allows them to hit on the counter. Their 15 interceptions and 16 fouls in their last match show a team that defends with intensity and discipline. Atletico Goianiense’s 3-4-3 is more attack-minded but their 12 fouls and only 9 interceptions suggest they can be bypassed in transition. Novorizontino’s pass accuracy at 73.7% compared to Atletico Goianiense’s 85.2% suggests the visitors are more possession-oriented, but possession alone has not been converting to results for them.

Team Analysis
Novorizontino enter this match in the best form of any team over the past 30 days in this fixture, winning both games played. Their last five results cover a mix of league and cup action. They beat Vila Nova 2-1 in the most recent outing, drew 2-2 with Chapecoense, beat Ceara 2-1, lost 0-2 to Chapecoense, and drew 0-0 with Cuiaba. The attack has been firing consistently, with 6 total goals scored across the last three competitive games. Coach Enderson Moreira’s 4-2-3-1 has given the team defensive shape while still generating 18 shots in the last match.
Atletico Goianiense arrive off a 2-0 win over Ponte Preta, their most convincing result in recent weeks. Before that, they lost 0-1 to Sao Bernardo, drew 1-1 with Criciuma, suffered a heavy 1-4 defeat to Athletico PR, and beat Ceara 1-0. The inconsistency is clear. Renan Soares has settled on a 3-4-3, which provides width and forward options but leaves the back three exposed to direct play. The loss to Athletico PR remains a concern given how that game unraveled defensively.

The two Série B meetings from 2025 saw Atletico Goianiense take the edge, winning one and drawing one, with Novorizontino failing to win either encounter. The head-to-head record gives the visitors a slight psychological edge, though the current form gap and home advantage make this a different proposition.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Novorizontino the Favourite
- Moneyline Novorizontino 1.92 | Atletico Goianiense 4.16
- Draw 3.50
- Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes N/A | No N/A
Novorizontino at around 1.91-1.92 represents decent value given their current form and home record. The bookmakers’ 49% probability for the home win aligns with our own read on this match. Atletico Goianiense at 3.90-4.16 reflects how far behind them they are on current momentum. The draw at 3.35-3.50 is not unreasonable given Atletico Goianiense’s tendency to draw, but backing it outright carries too much risk against a Novorizontino side that has not drawn at home in their last two fixtures.
Possible Starting Lineups
Novorizontino Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Jordi
- DF: Patrick Marcos de Sousa Freitas, Eduardo Brock, Nilson Castrillón, Maykon Kesley de Jesus Ramalho
- MF: Leonardo Naldi de Matos, C. Ortiz, Luís Oyama, Juninho
- FW: Robson, Carlos Henrique de Moura Brito
Enderson Moreira is expected to set up in his preferred 4-2-3-1. Jordi takes the gloves after recent appearances. The back four features Nilson Castrillón and Maykon Kesley as the wide defenders, both active in defensive duels. Luís Oyama is the key figure in the number ten role, combining goals and creativity, and he is the player most likely to unlock Atletico Goianiense’s back three. Robson provides width and an assist in the last game, making him a strong pick on the right flank.
Atletico Goianiense Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Paulo Vítor
- DF: Adriano Fonseca, Ewerthon Diogenes da Silva, Guilherme Lopes, Nata Felipe de Amorim Santos
- MF: Leandro Vilela, Cristiano Claudinei Nogueira, Marrony da Silva Liberato Silveira
- FW: Gustavo Coutinho Silva Lopes, Bruno José, Leonardo Gomes da Silva Jacó
Renan Soares is expected to maintain his 3-4-3 shape, with Ewerthon and Guilherme Lopes providing width from the back line. Paulo Vítor starts in goal after making two saves in the last match. Gustavo Coutinho leads the line and is the most dangerous player in this squad, having scored twice last time out. Bruno José adds movement and recorded an assist against Ponte Preta. Cristiano Claudinei Nogueira carries a yellow card risk in the engine room, having picked one up in the last game.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict a Novorizontino win in a match that produces goals at both ends. Their 100% win rate over the past 30 days, home advantage, and a more settled defensive structure point toward a home victory. Atletico Goianiense have the attacking quality to score through Gustavo Coutinho, but their defensive record, particularly the four goals conceded against Athletico PR, raises questions about their ability to shut Novorizontino out. The 4-2-3-1 vs 3-4-3 matchup should create space in behind for both sides, supporting the BTTS and over 2.5 calls. A scoreline of 2-1 to Novorizontino feels the most likely outcome based on the patterns across both teams’ last five games.
