Serie A stats and tips

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

Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid is the backdrop as Bragantino and Juventude go head-to-head on Saturday night, in what could prove to be a proper ding-dong battle. Pedro Miguel Faria Caixinha's side have the most BTTS + draws of any team in the competition - 3 in 6 matches. An extension of that record has best odds of 6.50.

Vitoria v Internacional - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's the task facing Vitória boss Leonardo Rodrigues Condé on Saturday. His team faces Internacional having been beaten in each of their last 3 Serie A games.

Fluminese v Atletico Go - Double Chance - home win or draw

It has been a dismal succession of results for Atlético Go and their faithful followers, with their last Serie A win now coming 5 matches ago. Boss J. Ribeiro Ventura has to find a remedy, and sooner rather than later. Will Fluminense at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho on Saturday come too soon, or be a turning point?

Gremio v Botafogo - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - over

Botafogo have been Serie A's entertainers this season, at least in when it comes to serving up goal-filled fixtures. No other club can boast more than their record of having taken part in 1 six-goal thrillers this season. Can they make that 2 when they face Gremio on Sunday morning? With odds of 19.00 on offer, it could be one to watch.

Criciuma v Bahia - Half Time / Full Time - away / away

Fans of the half time/full time market will be keeping their eye on Bahia. Rogério Mücke Ceni's side has been remarkably commanding in recent Serie A games, holding the lead at half time in each of their last 3 and going on to win them all at FT. Criciuma on Sunday afternoon could well be more of the same.

Athletico PR v Flamengo - Half Time / Full Time - home+home

A. Bacchi won't be too excited about facing Athletico PR in Serie A on Sunday. A. Stival's side have led at HT and gone on to win at final whistle more frequently than any other club in the Serie A this season - 3 times in total. That stat suggests it may be a difficult night for Flamengo, and that backing Athletico PR in the HT FT market could be a strong bet at odds of 4.00.

Corinthians v Sao Paulo - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under

Supporters heading to Arena Corinthians this Sunday to watch Corinthians and Sao Paulo might already be concerned about a long night, and who could blame them? A. Cardoso de Oliveira's players have produced 2 goalless draws this term, the highest number of any team in Serie A. Will either side break the deadlock? Bet against it at top odds of 7.00.

A Mineiro v Palmeiras - Double Chance - home win or draw

Gabriel Alejandro Milito and his Atlético Mineiro team have found a useful knack of claiming something from almost every Serie A fixture they play. They're unbeaten in 5 in Serie A now, so Abel Fernando Moreira Ferreira and his Palmeiras team will have their work cut out if they're to get the win at Arena MRV on Sunday.

Cuiaba v Fortaleza - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's exactly what must be done by Cuiabá boss L. Iubel on Sunday. His side face Fortaleza having been beaten in each of their last 4 Serie A matches.

Vasco d Gama v Cruzeiro - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

It's not exactly common to be treated to a 5+ goal thriller, but Vasco da Gama's dedicated supporters have now had to wait 8 matches to see their side deliver one. Certainly they could be forgiven for craving some proper excitement by now. Could the streak come to an end on Sunday night, as they face Nicolás Ricardo Larcamón's Cruzeiro at Estádio Club de Regatas Vasco da? With odds of 1.07 on there being under 4.5 goals, the bookies are making their thoughts on the matter perfectly clear.
