Brazillian Serie A Tips & Predictions

Serie A stats and tips

Vasco d Gama v Athletico PR - Both Teams To Score - yes

Fans at Estádio Club de Regatas Vasco da will be banking on plenty goalmouth action on Monday, and rightly so if Vasco da Gama's recent record is anything to go by. Both teams have found the net in 12 of their 14 Serie A matches this season, more than any side in the competition.

A Mineiro v Mirassol - Both Teams To Score - no

If we trust the form book, we can expect at least one side to earn a clean sheet at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio on Saturday, as J. Sampaoli Moya and R. Silva Guanaes's teams meet. Atlético Mineiro have had the highest number of matches where one team or more has not found the net (i.e. BTTS no) in Serie A so far this season - 9 out of 15 played. Both managers will just be praying it isn't their them that flounders in front of goal.

Internacional v Vasco d Gama - Both Teams To Score - yes

Supporters at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda will be fully expecting action at both ends on Saturday, and they're right to, if Vasco da Gama's past record is anything to go by. There have been a goal in both nets in 12 of their 15 Serie A fixtures this season, the largest number in the competition.

Palmeiras v Cruzeiro - Half Time / Full Time - home+home

A. Bacchi won't be relishing facing Palmeiras in Serie A on Sunday. A. Moreira Ferreira's side have been ahead at HT and gone on to secure the win at FT more frequently than any other team in the Serie A this season - 9 times in total. That stat suggests it could well be a long morning for Cruzeiro, and that backing Palmeiras in the HT FT market would be a smart move at odds of 2.63.

Santos v Cortiba - Double Chance - home win or draw

Coritiba have consistently struggled against Santos in the league in recent years. The two sides have met on 8 occasions since 2020, and Santos have remained unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Estádio Urbano Caldeira could be a really difficult one for M. Batista Junior & co.

Botafogo v Corinthians - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring fixtures aren't always boring, but fans of Corinthians have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this term. 11 of their side's matches in Serie A have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will Davide Ancelotti and his Botafogo team be able to inject goals into this encounter on Sunday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?

Bragantino v Vitoria - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - over

0-0s have been an incredibly rare occurrence in Bragantino's Serie A outings recently. Their last 58 have had over 0.5 goals, and Sunday night's meeting with J. Ribeiro Ventura's Vitória really should be a similar story.

Chapecoense v Remo - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw

It might not be an honour they're particularly enamoured with, but Chapecoense currently lead all opposition in Serie A when it comes to games drawn at both the break and the final whistle this campaign, with their tally now at 5 in 14 outings. They will put that unwanted consistency on the line against Remo at Arena Condá on Sunday, in a match that could see yet another tie.

Athletico PR v Flamengo - Half Time / Full Time - away+away

Athletico PR will be looking to avoid adding to the 5 matches they have already been losing at both the break and the final whistle this season when they take on Flamengo on Sunday. O. Hellmann's side already lead the rest of Serie A in that area, and won't want to make their record any worse. Opposing boss F. Kasmirski may not feel the same way, however.

Gremio v Santos - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like putting your money on goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming fixture between Santos and Gremio could be the one for you. J. Vojvoda's side have lost 5 games this term in which both sides have got on the scoresheet. That's a record in Serie A.
