Catch all the action in Brazil’s top-flight this super weekend as Cruzeiro face Atletico, Fortaleza host Bragantino, Sao Paulo take on Bahia and more!
Saturday 29 July
Fluminense 13/20 | Draw 22/10 | Santos 22/10 (21:00)
Kicking off the weekend, Santos travel to face Fluminense where they have recently found success after a winless drought at Estadio Maracana. You can bet on the away team thanks to great combination play between Lucas Lima and Marcos Leonardo’s 26 goal contributions.
Internacional 17/20 | Draw 2/1 | Cuiaba MT 32/10 (21:00)
If you were considering a sneak peak at Brazilian Serie A football over the weekend, avoid this fixture. Internacional has failed to score an away goal in four consecutive fixtures, while Cuiaba’s last six away games have ended under 2.5 goals; back that market.
Atletico PR 1/1 | Draw 19/10 | Cruzeiro 26/10 (23:30)
Atletico PR will enter this encounter brimming with confidence after back-to-back 2-0 victories, while Cruzeiro have failed to score in just as many. Get behind the home side at even money.
Corinthians 9/10 | Draw 19/10 | Vasco 3/1 (23:30)
The value bet of the weekend goes in favour of 15th-placed Corinthians. Despite the table position, the Almighty have secured a five-match unbeaten streak across all comps, while their competitors have secured just two wins over their last 15 league matches.
Fortaleza 9/10 | Draw 2/1 | Bragantino 28/10 (23:30)
Since Red Bull’s takeover of Bragantino, a top half finish only failed to happen last season, and the blip seems to be a thing of the past. Fortaleza’s two-game skid leans my pocket towards an outsider chance in the away team Draw/Win Double Chance.
Sunday 30 July
Atletico MG 12/10 | Draw 39/20 | Flamengo 9/4 (02:00)
The tightest affair this gameweek 17 sees Atletico MG welcome Flamengo with a seven-point gap between the two. While I cannot pick a winner, I wouldn’t be surprised if Hulk nets another to etch his way up the top goal scorer charts – currently tied third.
Sao Paulo 6/10 | Draw 24/10 | Bahia 44/10 (16:00)
Sao Paulo have not been convincing, but their opponents have been utterly lacklustre. The home win is not in doubt.
America MG 51/20 | Draw 2/1 | Palmeiras 1/1 (21:00)
Although Palmeiras may be a way off the top of the table on points, they are tied for the most goals for, and second only to top-of-the-table Botafogo on goal difference. You can back the away side to find the win and Over 2.5 as a big money option.
Botafogo 11/20 | Draw 47/20 | Coritiba 5/1 (21:00)
The banker of the weekend is in favour of first-placed Botafogo who continue to extend their gap at the top of the table. The opposition inspires no confidence as they languish in the bottom three.
Goias 2/1 | Draw 2/1 | Gremio 5/4 (23:30)
After a four-match winless run, Goias finally cracked the code. A 1-0 away win that was hard-fought against a midtable Cruzeiro. After their disappointing loss to Botafogo, Gremio bounced back with a win to solidify that second spot. The 5/4 on the away side is hard to pass up.
TREBLE @ 56/10
Corinthians Win 9/10
Botafogo Win 11/20
Gremio Win 5/4
