Brazillian Serie A Tips & Predictions

Serie A stats and tips

Bahia v Santos - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and picking a winner, then the upcoming game between Santos and Bahia might well be the one for you. J. Vojvoda's side have lost 5 games this term in which both sides have got on the scoresheet. That's a record in Serie A.

Botafogo v Internacional - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you're looking for some proper entertainment on Saturday night, then the clash between Botafogo and Internacional could be one to watch. Davide Ancelotti's team lead Serie A in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 10 of their Serie A games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from A. da Silva Braga's men could keep the score down.

Sao Paulo v Mirassol - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - over

Bore-draws have been a highly uncommon occurrence in Sao Paulo's Serie A outings recently. Their last 43 have had over 0.5 goals, and Sunday morning's clash with R. Silva Guanaes's Mirassol really should deliver more of the same.

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

Vasco da Gama fans have come to expect drama at each end when their team plays in Serie A, with both sides having found the net in every one of their last 9 matches. Corinthians on Sunday night may well be another goal-fest.

Gremio v Cortiba - Double Chance - away win or draw

It has been a dreadful succession of results for Gremio and their faithful followers, with their last Serie A success now coming 5 games ago. Boss L. Ribeiro de Castro simply must find a solution, and sooner rather than later. Will Coritiba at Arena do Grêmio on Sunday provide some relief?

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

Athletico PR will be looking to avoid adding to the 5 times they have already lost at both HT and FT this campaign when they square off against Vitória on Sunday. O. Hellmann's team already top the rest of Serie A in that category, and won't want to make their record any worse. Opposing boss J. Ribeiro Ventura will be licking his lips, however.

Bragantino v Palmeiras - Half Time / Full Time - away+away

V. Carmo Mancini won't be too excited about going up against Palmeiras in Serie A on Sunday. A. Moreira Ferreira's side have been ahead at the break and gone on to win at final whistle more often than any other team in the Serie A this term - 8 times in total. That record suggests it could well be a difficult night for Bragantino, and that backing Palmeiras in the HT FT market would be a strong bet at odds of 3.75.

A Mineiro v Flamengo - Both Teams To Score - no

If we trust the form book, we can expect at least one goalkeeper to earn a clean sheet at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio on Monday, as J. Sampaoli Moya and F. Kasmirski'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 season - 8 out of 12 played. Both managers will just be hoping it isn't their team that flounders in front of goal.

Fluminense v Chapecoense - Double Chance - home win or draw

Being a football fan can be a tough old business, and Chapecoense’s hardy follows know that only too well right now. Their team, led by G. Dal Pozzo, is now winless in their previous 10 Serie A matches, and few will be expecting them to end that run against Fluminense at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho on Monday morning. Backing opposition boss L. Zubeldía to add to their misery by guiding his team to anything other than a defeat is available at best odds of 1.06.

Botafogo v Remo - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you're not busy on Saturday night, then the clash between Botafogo and Remo could be one to watch. Davide Ancelotti's team lead Serie A in most matches with more than 2 goals scored so far this season. 10 of their Serie A games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only an entirely negative game plan from A. Ferreira's men could prevent more of the same.

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

J. Vojvoda won't be relishing going up against Palmeiras in Serie A on Saturday. A. Moreira Ferreira's side have been winning at halftime and gone on to secure the win at final whistle more frequently than any other team in the Serie A this season - 8 times in total. That record suggests it could well be a long night for Santos, and that backing Palmeiras in the halftime fulltime market would be a great shout at odds of 2.30.

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

Athletico PR will be hoping not to add to the 5 matches they have already been behind in at both the break and the final whistle this campaign when they square off against Gremio on Sunday. O. Hellmann's team already lead the rest of Serie A in that department, and won't want to make it any worse. Opposing boss L. Ribeiro de Castro may not feel the same way, however.

Cruzeiro v A Mineiro - 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 Governador Magalhães Pin on Sunday, as J. Sampaoli Moya and A. Bacchi's teams meet. Atlético Mineiro have had the most matches where one team or more has not scored (i.e. BTTS no) in Serie A so far this season - 8 out of 12 played. Both gaffers will just be praying it isn't their side that fails to register.

Flamengo v Vasco d Gama - Double Chance - home win or draw

Vasco da Gama have found something of a bogey team in Flamengo in the Serie A in recent years. The two sides have met on 12 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 F. Diniz Silva & co.

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

Arena Condá is the venue as Chapecoense and Bragantino clash 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 division - 4 in 11 outings. An extension of that record has best odds of 4.33.

Internacional v Fluminense - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Internacional and Fluminense have laboured through a number of tight clashes in recent years. With each of their last 6 Serie A matches having under 2.5 goals, the forwards picked by A. da Silva Braga and L. Zubeldía may be in for a long day night.
