Avaí's last victory against Goiás as a visitor dates back to 26 October 2018, when the Catarinense side secured a 3-0 win in the 33rd round of the Série B. The match took place at the Estádio Olímpico in Goiânia. Getúlio, Renato, and Daniel Amorim were the goal-scorers for Avaí on that occasion, which saw the team assume the vice-leadership in the competition.
Since then, Goiás has dominated the head-to-head encounters, winning four out of five matches as the host. The only draw occurred in the 2022 Série A match, which ended 1-1. In the most recent match between the two teams, Goiás secured a 2-0 victory over Avaí in the 2026 Série B on 20 September.
The overall record between Avaí and Goiás is balanced, with 12 wins each and 36 goals scored by both teams in 28 matches. Avaí's next match is against Criciúma on 27 September, but the focus remains on breaking the eight-year tabu against Goiás.
