Serie A stats and tips

Botafogo v Santos - Both Teams To Score - yes

Botafogo supporters have come to expect action at each end when their team plays in Serie A, with both sides having scored in all of their last 13 games. Santos on Thursday night may well be another thriller.

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

Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's what's required of Vasco da Gama boss R. Portaluppi on Thursday. His side face Vitória having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 3 Serie A outings.

Bahia v Chapecoense - Double Chance - away win or draw

A satisfyingly long time has passed since Chapecoense’s joyous fans watched their side suffer defeat in league. G. Dal Pozzo’s men are now unbeaten in 5 matches, and he will be hopeful that they can extend that run against Bahia at Arena Fonte Nova on Wednesday morning. Best odds of 2.50 can be taken advantage of to back Chapecoense to either win or draw.

Fluminense v Bragantino - Half Time / Full Time - away / away

Fans of the half time/full time market will have noticed the form of Bragantino. V. Carmo Mancini's side has been remarkably commanding in recent Serie A matches, holding the lead at half time in each of their last 3 and going on to win them all at full time. Fluminense on Saturday morning will be one to watch.

Mirassol v Gremio - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

Common or not, every football fan loves to see a match in which 5 goals or more are scored, but Mirassol's loyal fans have now had to wait 9 matches to watch their side take part in one. A frustrating statistic in anyone's book. Will the run be broken on Saturday morning, as they face L. Ribeiro de Castro's Gremio at Estádio José Maria de Campos Maia? With odds of 1.07 on there being 4 goals or fewer being scored, the bookmakers are making their thoughts on the matter perfectly clear.

Botafogo v Vitoria - Double Chance - home win or draw

Vitória simply have not been able to find a way past Botafogo in the league in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 8 occasions since 2018, and Botafogo have remained unbeaten in them all. Wednesday's game at Estádio Nilton Santos could be a really difficult one for J. Ribeiro Ventura & co.
