Brazillian Serie A Tips & Predictions

Serie A stats and tips

S. Recife v Flamengo - Win / Draw / Win - away win

It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's what's required of Sport Recife boss C. de Lucena on Saturday. His players face Flamengo having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 5 Serie A games.

Santos v Palmeiras - Double Chance - away win or draw

Following your football club can be hard going, and Santos’s long-suffering follows know that better than most at the moment. Their team, led by J. Vojvoda, has now failed to win any of their last 5 Serie A matches, and few will be expecting them to end that run against Palmeiras at Estádio Urbano Caldeira on Sunday morning. Backing opposition manager A. Moreira Ferreira to add another to that list by inspiring his side to anything other than a defeat can be bet on at best odds of 1.36.

Bragantino v A Mineiro - Double Chance - away win or draw

Bragantino simply have not been able to find a way past Atlético Mineiro in the Serie A in recent years. The two clubs have met on 11 occasions since 2020, and Atlético Mineiro have remained unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Estádio Cicero de Souza Marques could be a really difficult one for V. Carmo Mancini & co.

Bragantino v Vitoria - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming fixture between Bragantino and Vitória might well be worth a look. V. Carmo Mancini's side have lost 10 games this term in which both sides have got on the scoresheet. That's the most in Serie A.

Palmeiras v Vitoria - Both Teams To Score & Result - home

Vitória will be concerned that 1 goal may not be enough to claim victory over Palmeiras on Wednesday night. A. Moreira Ferreira's men have the best record in Serie A when it comes to claiming victory despite conceding (11 of their 32 matches), so focusing on defence might be the only viable route for J. Ribeiro Ventura and his Vitória men at Allianz Parque.

Fluminense v Flamengo - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Fluminense have played out some low-scoring outings in Serie A recently. There have been under 2.5 goals in each of L. Zubeldía's side's last 7 outings and, with F. Kasmirski and his Flamengo ahead on Thursday morning, their forwards really should be putting in some more practice in the build-up.

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

It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's the task facing Vasco da Gama boss F. Diniz Silva on Thursday. His team faces Gremio having lost each of their last 3 Serie A matches.

Santos v Mirassol - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw

Estádio Urbano Caldeira is the backdrop as Mirassol and Santos go head-to-head on Thursday morning, in what might just be a tight affair. R. Silva Guanaes's side have the highest number of BTTS + draws of any team in the league - 10 in 33 games. An extension of that record is available at 4.75.

Juventude v Cruzeiro - Double Chance - away win or draw

Weeks have passed since Cruzeiro’s happy fans watched their side get beaten in Serie A. J. Nunes Alves Sousa Jardim’s boys are now unbeaten in 8 games, and he will be expecting that they can keep going against Juventude at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi on Thursday evening. Best value odds of 1.22 can be grabbed to back Cruzeiro to avoid defeat yet again.

Bahia v Fortaleza - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

It's not exactly common to be treated to a 5+ goal thriller, but Bahia's long-suffering supporters have now been waiting 13 games to see their side take part in one. That’s too long by anyone’s count. Could the streak come to an end on Thursday night, as they face M. Palermo's Fortaleza at Arena Fonte Nova? With odds of 1.14 on there being 4 goals or fewer being scored, the bookmakers certainly don’t think so.

Corinthians v Sao Paulo - Double Chance - away win or draw

Corinthians have consistently struggled against Sao Paulo in the Serie A in recent years. The two clubs have met on 9 occasions since 2021, and Sao Paulo have remained unbeaten in them all. Thursday's game at Arena Corinthians could be a tricky one for D. Silvestre Júnior & co.

Ceara v Internacional - Double Chance - home win or draw

It has been a dismal set of results for Internacional and their faithful followers, with their last Serie A success now coming 5 games ago. Boss R. Díaz simply must find a remedy, and sooner rather than later. Will Ceará at Estádio Governador Plácido Adera on Friday come too soon, or be a turning point?

Botafogo v Gremio - Both Teams To Score - no

If the form book is to be believed, we can predict at least one defence to earn a clean sheet at Estádio Nilton Santos on Saturday, as Davide Ancelotti and L. Venker de Menezes's sides clash. Botafogo 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 season - 24 out of 33 played. Both gaffers will just be praying it isn't their team that flounders in front of goal.

Flamengo v Bragantino - Both Teams To Score - yes

Supporters at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho may be fully expecting action at both ends on Sunday, and with good reason if Bragantino's past record is to be continued. There have been a goal in both nets in 20 of their 33 Serie A matches this season, a record matched by no other team in the competition.

Palmeiras v Fluminense - Both Teams To Score & Result - home

Fluminense will be aware that 1 goal may not be enough to come out on top against Palmeiras on Sunday morning. A. Moreira Ferreira's team have the best record in Serie A when it comes to winning games in which both teams are on the scoresheet (11 of their 32 games), so defence first might be the best course of action for L. Zubeldía and his Fluminense men at Allianz Parque.

Bahia v Vasco d Gama - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - over

Bahia have been Serie A's showmen this campaign, at least in when it comes to delivering high scoring fixtures. No other team can boast more than their record of having been involved in 2 over 5.5 goal games this season. Can they make it 3 when they play Vasco da Gama on Sunday evening? With odds of 15.00 on offer, it could be worth a go.

Sao Paulo v Juventude - Half Time / Full Time - home+home

Juventude will be looking to avoid adding to the 15 times they have already been losing at both the break and the final whistle this term when they square off against Sao Paulo on Sunday. T. Carpini Barbosa's team already top the rest of Serie A in that department, and won't want to make it any worse. Opposing boss H. Crespo , on the other hand, will be feeling very differently.

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

D. Silvestre Júnior won't be looking forward to going up against Cruzeiro in Serie A on Sunday. J. Nunes Alves Sousa Jardim's side have been ahead at HT and gone on to claim victory at final whistle more often than any other team in the Serie A this season - 12 times in total. That stat suggests it could well be a difficult night for Corinthians, and that backing Cruzeiro in the HT FT market would be a strong bet at odds of 2.62.

Bragantino v Fortaleza - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming fixture between Bragantino and Fortaleza might well be the one for you. V. Carmo Mancini's side have lost 10 games this campaign in which both clubs have found the net. That's the most in Serie A.
