Volta Redonda vs Goncalense Prediction & Betting Tips (11 September)

It would be fair to say that Goncalense have been struggling on their top-flight travels of late, with their current run of 10 consecutive defeats forming part of a 13-match winless sequence. Volta Redonda, meanwhile, have enjoyed 13 wins in 16 home games at this level of late, plus confidence should be high after starting the season with a victory.

When Goncalense come calling, they rarely bring fireworks, with under 2.5 goals being served up in seven of their previous 10 away matches in the third tier of the Copa Rio. For their part, Volta Redonda have certainly been keeping things tight recently, with seven of their last nine games at this level producing two goals or fewer.

At least one of the two keepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 11 of the most recent 16 Volta Redonda matches on their own patch in the Copa Rio, so thrills and spills have been few and far between. Given that seven of the previous ten Goncalense away games at this level have followed the same pattern, any deviation from this script would come as a shock.
