Serie A stats and tips
Ceara v Vasco d Gama - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you're not busy on Wednesday morning, then the clash between Vasco da Gama and Ceará could be worth checking out. Fabio Pecchia's team lead Serie A in most matches with over 2.5 goals so far this season. 3 of their Serie A games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only an entirely negative game plan from Leonardo Rodrigues Condé's men could prevent more of the same.
Botafogo v Sao Paulo - Double Chance - home win or draw
Sao Paulo have consistently struggled against Botafogo in the Serie A in recent years. The two teams have met on 7 occasions since 2021, and Botafogo have gone unbeaten in them all. Wednesday's game at Estádio Nilton Santos could be a really difficult one for L. Zubeldía & co.
Mirassol v Gremio - Half Time / Full Time - home+home
Gremio will be hoping not to add to the 2 games they have already been losing at both the break and the final whistle this campaign when they square off against Mirassol on Wednesday. Gustavo Enrique Domingo Quinteros Desábato's side already lead the rest of Serie A in that category, and won't want to make it any worse. Opposing boss I. Baitello may not feel the same way, however.
S. Recife v Bragantino - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like backing goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming match between Sport Recife and Bragantino could warrant a closer look. Pepa's side have lost 2 games this term in which both sides have found the net. That's the highest number in Serie A.
Corinthians v Fluminense - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - over
Every one of Corinthians's last 10 Serie A matches has had two or more goals, suggesting that we could be in for a treat as they go head to head with Fluminense on Wednesday night.
Internacional v Palmeiras - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Palmeiras's recent outings in Serie A have delivered goals and thrills along the way, but it has been some time since Abel Fernando Moreira Ferreira's side provided their supporters with a ding-dong battle with goals galore. There have been under 4.5 goals in every one of their last 11 outings.
Flamengo v Juventude - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
The record books suggest we could have some serious entertainment at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho on Thursday morning. Each of Flamengo and Juventude's last 5 Serie A meetings have had over 2.5 goals, and F. Kasmirski and F. Matias's sides will be going all-out to keep that run going.
Santos v A Mineiro - Double Chance - away win or draw
What a dreadful succession of results for Santos and their faithful followers, with their last league success now coming 5 matches ago. Boss F. Carille needs to find a way out, and sooner rather than later. Will Atlético Mineiro at Estádio Urbano Caldeira on Thursday be the one in which they turn it around?
Cruzeiro v Bahia - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Estádio Governador Magalhães Pin may be banking on action at both ends on Friday, and they're right to, if Bahia's recent record is to be continued. Both teams have found the net in 3 of their 3 Serie A fixtures this season, the largest number in the competition.
Corinthians v S. Recife - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like putting your money on goals and picking a victor, then the upcoming game between Sport Recife and Corinthians might well be the one for you. Pepa's side have lost 2 games this term in which both sides have got on the scoresheet. That's the most in Serie A.
Vasco d Gama v Flamengo - Double Chance - away win or draw
Vasco da Gama have consistently struggled against Flamengo in the Serie A in recent years. The two sides have played on 10 occasions since 2018, and Flamengo have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Estádio Club de Regatas Vasco da could be a really difficult one for Fabio Pecchia & co.
Gremio v Internacional - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
Gremio will be looking to avoid adding to the 2 matches they have already been behind in at both the break and the final whistle this campaign when they square off against Internacional on Sunday. Gustavo Enrique Domingo Quinteros Desábato's players already top the rest of Serie A in that area, and won't want to make it any worse. Opposing boss Roger Machado Marques will be licking his lips, however.
A Mineiro v Botafogo - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring encounters aren't always boring, but fans of Botafogo have had lots of chances to test that theory this season. 3 of their side's games in Serie A have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will A. Stival and his Atlético Mineiro team be able to inject goalmouth action into this encounter on Sunday? Or will it be more of the same?
Sao Paulo v Santos - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It may not be an honour they're especially proud of, but Sao Paulo currently lead all opponents in Serie A when it comes to games drawn at both halftime and fulltime this campaign, with their tally now at 3 in 3 outings. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency on the line versus Santos at Estádio Cícero Pompeu de Toledo on Sunday, in a clash that could see yet another tie.
Fortaleza v Palmeiras - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
Stats suggest we could be in for a thriller at Estádio Governador Plácido Adera on Sunday night. Each of Fortaleza and Palmeiras's last 5 Serie A meetings have had over 2.5 goals, and Juan Pablo Vojvoda and Abel Fernando Moreira Ferreira's sides will be going all-out to keep that run going.
Bahia v Ceara - Both Teams To Score - yes
Supporters at Arena Fonte Nova may be anticipating action at both ends on Tuesday, and they're right to, if Bahia's past record is to be continued. We've seen BTTS in 3 of their 3 Serie A matches this season, a record matched by no other team in the competition.
Mirassol v A Mineiro - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like backing goals and picking a winner, then the upcoming game between Atlético Mineiro and Mirassol could be worth a look. A. Stival's side have lost 1 games this season in which both teams have got on the scoresheet. That's the highest number in Serie A.
