Brazillian Serie A Tips & Predictions

Serie A stats and tips

Cortiba v Internacional - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

The 5+ goal game may be a rare beast, but Internacional's loyal followers have now been waiting 16 games to watch their club deliver one. Certainly they could be forgiven for craving some proper excitement by now. Will the long-overdue deluge of goals finally arrive on Saturday night, as they face M. Batista Junior's Coritiba at Estádio Major Antônio Couto Pere? With odds of 1.08 on there being under 4.5 goals, the bookies clearly have their doubts.

Fluminense v Vitoria - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - over

Every one of Fluminense's last 6 Serie A games has had two or more goals, suggesting that fans could get their money's worth as they battle it out with Vitória on Saturday night.

A Mineiro v Botafogo - Both Teams To Score - yes

Botafogo supporters have been spoilt with drama at each end when their team plays in Serie A, with both teams having scored at least one goal in every one of their last 9 games. Atlético Mineiro on Sunday night could be another ding-dong battle.

Remo v Palmeiras - Double Chance - away win or draw

Every now and then we get a golden spell in football, and it has now been a while since since Palmeiras’s merry followers watched their team get beaten in Serie A. A. Moreira Ferreira’s squad is now unbeaten in 9 outings, and he will be hopeful that they can keep going against Remo at Estádio Estadual Jornalista Edgar Augusto Proença on Sunday night. Best odds of 1.20 are available to back Palmeiras to either win or draw.

Corinthians v Sao Paulo - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring fixtures aren't always entirely dull, but fans of Corinthians have had lots of chances to test that theory this campaign. 11 of their side's encounters in Serie A have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will H. Crespo and his Sao Paulo side be able to inject goalmouth action into this clash on Sunday? Or will it be same old same old?

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

It might not be an honour they're especially proud of, but Chapecoense currently lead all opponents in Serie A when it comes to fixtures in which they have been level at both HT and FT this season, with their tally now at 5 in 13 matches. They will put that unwanted consistency to the test versus Mirassol at on Sunday, in a clash that could see yet another dead heat.

Santos v Bragantino - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and picking a winner, then the upcoming fixture between Santos and Bragantino could warrant a closer look. J. Vojvoda's side have lost 5 games this season in which both teams have found the net. That's the highest number in Serie A.

Gremio v Flamengo - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Gremio have played out some low-scoring outings in Serie A of late. There have been under 2.5 goals in each of L. Ribeiro de Castro's side's last 5 outings and, with F. Kasmirski and his Flamengo ahead on Sunday night, their strikers would be well advised to put in some more work on the training ground.

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

Supporters at Estádio Club de Regatas Vasco da may be banking on action at both ends on Monday, and rightly so if Vasco da Gama's recent record is anything to go by. We've seen BTTS 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 the form book is to be believed, we can back at least one side to keep 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 most games where one team or more has not found the net (i.e. BTTS no) in Serie A so far this campaign - 9 out of 14 played. Both gaffers will just be desperate that it isn't their side that draws a blank.

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

Supporters at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda will be anticipating goals galore on Saturday, and with good reason if Vasco da Gama's recent record is to be continued. There have been a goal in both nets in 12 of their 14 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 looking forward to facing Palmeiras in Serie A on Sunday. A. Moreira Ferreira's side have been ahead at HT and gone on to claim victory at fulltime more often than any other team in the Serie A this season - 9 times in total. That record suggests it could well be a long morning for Cruzeiro, and that backing Palmeiras in the halftime fulltime market would be a great shout at odds of 2.60.

Santos v Cortiba - Double Chance - home win or draw

Coritiba simply have not been able to find a way past 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 tricky one for M. Batista Junior & co.

Botafogo v Corinthians - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring matches aren't always boring, but fans of Corinthians have had too many chances to test that theory this campaign. 11 of their side's fixtures 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 more of the same?

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

It may not be a record they're all that proud of, but Chapecoense currently lead all opponents in Serie A when it comes to matches drawn at both HT and FT this term, with their tally now at 5 in 13 outings. They will put that unwanted consistency to the test against Remo at Arena Condá on Sunday, in a fixture that could see yet another dead heat.

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

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