Brazillian Serie A Tips & Predictions

Serie A stats and tips

A Mineiro v Mirassol - Both Teams To Score - no

If the form book is to be believed, we can back at least one goalkeeper 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 most matches where one team or more has failed to find the back of the net (i.e. BTTS no) in Serie A so far this campaign - 9 out of 15 played. Both bosses will just be praying it isn't their side that fails to register.

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

Fans at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda may be banking on action at both ends on Saturday, and they're right to, if Vasco da Gama's past record is to be continued. Both teams have scored in 12 of their 15 Serie A fixtures this season, a record matched by no other team in the competition.

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

A. Bacchi won't be too excited about going up against Palmeiras in Serie A on Sunday. A. Moreira Ferreira's side have been ahead at halftime and gone on to win at FT more often than any other team in the Serie A this season - 9 times in total. That record suggests it could well be a demoralising 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 teams have played on 8 occasions since 2020, and Santos have remained unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Estádio Urbano Caldeira could be another hard one for M. Batista Junior & co.

Bahia v Gremio - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - over

Every one of Bahia's last 9 Serie A games has had two or more goals, suggesting that entertainment could be on its way as they battle it out with Gremio on Sunday night.

Botafogo v Corinthians - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring fixtures aren't always entirely dull, but fans of Corinthians have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this season. 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 side be able to inject goalmouth action into this encounter on Sunday? Or will it be more of the same?

Bragantino v Vitoria - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - over

0-0s have been a highly uncommon 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 deliver more of the same.

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

Arena Condá is the backdrop as Chapecoense and Remo go head-to-head on Sunday night, in what could prove to be a proper ding-dong battle. G. Dal Pozzo's side have the most score draws of any side in the competition - 5 in 14 matches. An extension of that record can be backed at 4.33.

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

Athletico PR will be hoping not to add to the 6 matches they have already been behind in at both halftime and fulltime this campaign when they play Flamengo on Sunday. O. Hellmann's players already top the rest of Serie A in that area, and won't want to make the situation any worse. Opposing boss F. Kasmirski , on the other hand, will be feeling very differently.

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

If you fancy a thriller 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 form like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from H. Crespo's men could keep the score down.

Gremio v Santos - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like tipping goals and picking a winner, then the upcoming match between Santos and Gremio might well be worth a look. J. Vojvoda's side have lost 5 games this campaign in which both clubs have got on the scoresheet. That's a record in Serie A.

Flamengo v Palmeiras - Double Chance - home win or draw

Palmeiras simply have not been able to find a way past Flamengo in the Serie A in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 16 occasions since 2018, and Flamengo have been 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 meetings having under 2.5 goals, the forwards picked by A. Bacchi and G. Dal Pozzo may be going home disappointed on night.

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

Athletico PR will be looking to avoid adding to the 6 matches they have already been behind in at both halftime and fulltime this season when they square off against Remo on Sunday. O. Hellmann's side already top the rest of Serie A in that area, and won't want to make their record any worse. Opposing boss A. Ferreira may not feel the same way, however.

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

Low scoring matches aren't always tedious affairs, 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 J. Sampaoli Moya and his Atlético Mineiro team be capable of adding some goalmouth action into this fixture on Sunday? Or will it be more of the same?

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

Fans at Estádio Club de Regatas Vasco da will be anticipating goals galore on Monday, and rightly so if Vasco da Gama's recent record is anything to go by. Both teams have scored in 12 of their 15 Serie A fixtures this season, more than any side in the competition.
