Serie A stats and tips

Flamengo v Corinthians - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw

It may not be a record they're especially proud of, but Corinthians currently lead all opposition in Serie A when it comes to fixtures drawn at both HT and FT this campaign, with their tally now at 2 in 5 matches. They will put that unwanted consistency to the test against Flamengo at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho on Saturday, in a match that could see yet another stalemate.

A Mineiro v Gremio - Double Chance - home win or draw

Happy days! It has now been a long while since Atlético Mineiro’s merry fans watched their side get beaten in Serie A. Gabriel Alejandro Milito’s squad is now unbeaten in 5 games, and he will be telling them that they can keep that streak running against Gremio at Arena MRV on Sunday morning. Best value odds of 1.15 can be taken advantage of to back Atlético Mineiro to get the win or the draw.

Vasco d Gama v Vitoria - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's the task facing Vasco da Gama boss Ramón Ángel Díaz on Sunday. His players face Vitória having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 4 Serie A games.

Atletico Go v Cruzeiro - Half Time / Full Time - away+away

Atlético Go will be looking to avoid adding to the 3 games they have already been losing at both HT and FT this term when they face Cruzeiro on Sunday. J. Ribeiro Ventura's players already lead the rest of Serie A in that department, and won't want to make the situation any worse. Opposing boss Nicolás Ricardo Larcamón may not feel the same way, however.

Fortaleza v Botafogo - Double Chance - home win or draw

Juan Pablo Vojvoda and his Fortaleza troops have found a handy knack of taking something from pretty much every Serie A fixture they play. They're unbeaten in 9 in Serie A now, so Artur Jorge and his Botafogo side will have their work cut out if they're going to get anything at Estádio Governador Plácido Adera on Sunday.

Palmeiras v Athletico PR - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring encounters aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Palmeiras have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this season. 5 of their side's matches in Serie A have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will A. Stival and his Athletico PR side be capable of adding some goals into this clash on Sunday? Or will it be more of the same?

Bahia v Bragantino - Double Chance - away win or draw

Luckily for them, it has been quite some time since Bragantino’s merry supporters watched their lads get beaten in Serie A. Pedro Miguel Faria Caixinha’s men are now unbeaten in 5 games, and he'll be expecting that they can extend that run against Bahia at Arena Fonte Nova on Sunday night. Best odds of 1.83 can be grabbed to back Bragantino the double chance market.

Sao Paulo v Fluminese - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you fancy a thriller on Monday night, then the clash between Fluminense and Sao Paulo could be the one for you. F. Diniz Silva's team lead Serie A in most matches with over 2.5 goals so far this season. 5 of their Serie A games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only a parking of the bus from T. Carpini Barbosa's men could ruin the spectacle.

Internacional v Juventude - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

The 5+ goal game may be a rare beast, but Internacional's hardy followers have now had to wait 12 matches to see their club take part in one. Certainly they could be forgiven for craving some proper excitement by now. Could the streak come to an end on Tuesday morning, as they face Roger Machado Marques's Juventude at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda? With odds of 1.10 on there being 4 goals or fewer being scored, the UK's leading bookmakers clearly have their doubts.

Criciuma v Palmeiras - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring games aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Palmeiras have had lots of chances to test that theory this term. 5 of their side's fixtures in Serie A have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will Cláudio Tencati and his Criciuma side be able to inject goals into this encounter on Sunday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?
