Serie A stats and tips

Juventude v Criciuma - Both Teams To Score - yes

Criciuma followers have been spoilt with entertainment at each end when their team plays in Serie A, with both teams having scored at least one goal in each of their last 5 matches. Juventude on Saturday night may well be another goal-fest.

Palmeiras v Vitoria - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Unsurpisingly, Palmeiras's loyal fans have come to expect a lot from their team and, in the opinion of KO's bettors, they may just be going home happy on Saturday night. 11 of our bettors are tipping that Abel Fernando Moreira Ferreira's XI will get the win as T. Carpini Barbosa's Vitória visit Allianz Parque. Here's hoping they're proved right!

Bahia v Internacional - Double Chance - home win or draw

Following your football club can be draining, and Internacional’s long-suffering follows know that only too well right now. Their side, led by Roger Machado Marques, has now failed to win any of their last 5 Serie A matches, and the clouds hardly look like parting against Bahia at Arena Fonte Nova on Sunday morning. Backing opposition gaffer Rogério Mücke Ceni to add another to that list by leading his team to a positive result can be bet on at best odds of 1.29.

Botafogo v Cruzeiro - Double Chance - home win or draw

Artur Jorge and his Botafogo side have gained a useful way of getting something from just about every Serie A game they play. They're unbeaten in 8 in Serie A now, so F. Seabra and his Cruzeiro team will have their work cut out if they're to get the win at Centro de Formação de Atletas TROPS on Sunday.

Fortaleza v Sao Paulo - Double Chance - home win or draw

Juan Pablo Vojvoda and his Fortaleza team have developed a handy knack of claiming something from just about every Serie A fixture they play. They're unbeaten in 5 in Serie A now, so L. Zubeldía and his Sao Paulo team will have their work cut out if they're going to get anything at Estádio Comendador Agostinho Prada on Sunday.

Bragantino v Fluminense - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Fluminense have played out some low-scoring matches in Serie A in recent weeks. There have been under 2.5 goals in all of L. Venker de Menezes's side's last 9 outings and, with Pedro Miguel Faria Caixinha and his Bragantino ahead on Sunday afternoon, their forwards really should be putting in some more graft in training this week.

Flamengo v Atletico Go - Both Teams To Score - yes

Flamengo followers have become used to action at each end when their team plays in Serie A, with both sides having scored at least one goal in every one of their last 7 matches. Atlético Go on Sunday night could be another goal-fest.

A Mineiro v Corinthians - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw

Estádio Raimundo Sampaio is the backdrop as Atlético Mineiro and Corinthians meet on Sunday night, in what might just be a tight affair. Gabriel Alejandro Milito's side have the highest number of BTTS + draws of any team in the competition - 6 in 17 games. An extension of that record is available at 5.00.

Cuiaba v Athletico PR - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring fixtures aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Athletico PR have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this season. 12 of their side's encounters in Serie A have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will Armando Gonçalves Teixeira and his Cuiabá team be able to inject goalmouth action into this fixture on Sunday? Or will it be more of the same?
