Brazillian Serie A Tips & Predictions

Serie A stats and tips

A Mineiro v Mirassol - Both Teams To Score - no

If we trust the form book, we can predict at least one side to keep a clean sheet at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio on Saturday, as J. Sampaoli Moya and R. Silva Guanaes's sides clash. Atlético Mineiro have had the highest number of fixtures where one team or more has not scored (i.e. BTTS no) in Serie A so far this campaign - 9 out of 15 played. Both gaffers will just be hoping it isn't their them that flounders in front of goal.

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

Fans at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda will be fully expecting goals galore on Saturday, and with good reason 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 the prospect of playing Palmeiras in Serie A on Sunday. A. Moreira Ferreira's side have been ahead at HT and gone on to win at FT in more games than any other club in the Serie A this season - 9 times in total. That record suggests it may be a difficult morning for Cruzeiro, and that backing Palmeiras in the halftime fulltime market could be a strong bet at odds of 2.63.

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 clubs have clashed 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.

Bahia v Gremio - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - over

Each of Bahia's last 9 Serie A outings has had two or more goals, suggesting that we could be in for a treat as they battle it out with Gremio on Sunday night.

Botafogo v Corinthians - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring matches aren't always boring, but fans of Corinthians have had lots of chances to test that theory this term. 11 of their side's encounters 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 goalmouth action into this clash on Sunday? Or will it be same old same old?

Bragantino v Vitoria - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - over

Nil-nils 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 clash with J. Ribeiro Ventura's Vitória really should be a similar story.

Chapecoense v Remo - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw

Arena Condá is the venue as Chapecoense and Remo meet on Sunday night, in what could well be a real crowd-pleaser. G. Dal Pozzo's side have the highest number of score draws of any team in the competition - 5 in 14 matches. An extension of that record is available at 4.33.

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

Athletico PR will be hoping not to add to the 6 games they have already been behind in at both halftime and fulltime this term when they take on Flamengo on Sunday. O. Hellmann's players already lead the rest of Serie A in that area, and won't want to make it any worse. Opposing boss F. Kasmirski may not feel the same way, however.

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

If you're not busy on Saturday night, then the clash between Botafogo and Sao Paulo could be the one for you. Davide Ancelotti's team lead Serie A in most matches with over 2.5 goals so far this season. 12 of their Serie A games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only a parking of the bus from H. Crespo's men could keep the score down.

Gremio v Santos - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming match between Santos and Gremio might well warrant a closer look. J. Vojvoda's side have lost 5 games this term in which both teams have scored. That's the most in Serie A.

Flamengo v Palmeiras - Double Chance - home win or draw

Palmeiras have found something of a bogey team in Flamengo in the Serie A in recent years. The two sides have played on 16 occasions since 2018, and Flamengo have gone unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho could be a really difficult one for A. Moreira Ferreira & co.

Cruzeiro v Chapecoense - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Cruzeiro and Chapecoense have been involved in a number of tight clashes in recent years. With each of their last 5 league clashes ending with under 2.5 goals, the attackers picked by A. Bacchi and G. Dal Pozzo may be in for a long day night.

Remo v Athletico PR - Half Time / Full Time - home+home

Athletico PR will be looking to avoid adding to the 6 times they have already lost at both halftime and fulltime this season when they take on Remo 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 A. Ferreira will be licking his lips, however.

Corinthians v A Mineiro - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring games aren't always entirely dull, but fans of Corinthians have had plenty of opportunity 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 J. Sampaoli Moya and his Atlético Mineiro side be able to inject goals into this fixture on Sunday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?

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

Supporters at Estádio Club de Regatas Vasco da will be banking on action at both ends on Monday, and they're right to, if Vasco da Gama's recent record is anything to go by. Both teams have scored in 12 of their 15 Serie A matches this season, the largest number in the competition.
