Serie A stats and tips
Sao Paulo v Fortaleza - Double Chance - home win or draw

Zubeldía’s boys are now unbeaten in 6 games, and he will be expecting that they can keep that streak running against Fortaleza at Estádio Cícero Pompeu de Toledo on Saturday morning. Best odds of 1.18 can be grabbed to back Sao Paulo to avoid defeat yet again.
Ceara v Vitoria - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Ceará's recent outings in league have delivered goals and thrills along the way, but it has been too long since Leonardo Rodrigues Condé's charges treated their fans to the kind of goal-fest we all really want to see. There have been under 4.5 goals in every one of their last 8 games.
Corinthians v Internacional - Double Chance - away win or draw
Corinthians simply have not been able to find a way past Internacional in the Serie A in recent years. The two sides have played on 9 occasions since 2021, and Internacional have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Arena Corinthians could be a really difficult one for Ramón Ángel Díaz & co.
Fluminense v S. Recife - Double Chance - home win or draw
It has been a miserable run of results for Sport Recife and their faithful followers, with their last Serie A success now coming 6 matches ago. Boss Pepa has to find a remedy, and preferably right away. Will Fluminense at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho on Saturday be the one in which they turn it around?
Bahia v Botafogo - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring games aren't always boring, but fans of Botafogo have had lots of chances to test that theory this season. 5 of their side's fixtures in Serie A have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will Rogério Mücke Ceni and his Bahia side be capable of adding some spice into this fixture on Sunday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?
Gremio v Santos - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
Gremio will be hoping not to add to the 3 times they have already lost at both halftime and fulltime this season when they play Santos on Sunday. Gustavo Enrique Domingo Quinteros Desábato's team already top the rest of Serie A in that category, and won't want to make it any worse. Opposing boss F. Carille will be licking his lips, however.
Vasco d Gama v Palmeiras - Double Chance - away win or draw

Matias's team lead Serie A in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 4 of their Serie A games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only a parking of the bus from A. Stival's men could prevent more of the same.
