Ace Football presents detailed betting tips on the upcoming Serie A games of the weekend.
As we prepare for another matchday of the Brazilian Serie A campaign, our experts take a look at the bookmakers’ predictions for the upcoming games.
Let’s check out three betting tips for Matchday 14 of the Brazilian top flight.
Don’t expect goals when Cuiaba host Bahia
Cuiaba ended a run of three winless games by beating Santos last weekend. This Saturday, they will take on Bahia, who come into the game on the back of a 2-1 defeat against Gremio.
We expect both sides to take conservative approaches to the game, given their recent performances.
Cuiaba had scored only one goal in their last home matches prior to the victory against Santos. On the other hand, Bahia haven’t scored more than once in any of their last four fixtures.
Back Gremio to edge out Botafogo
The standout game of the matchday will see Gremio host table leaders Botafogo.
A victory won’t be enough for Gremio to leapfrog their opponents from the top of the table. But we expect the hosts to get closer Botafogo by claiming a victory this weekend.
Gremio have shown incredible attacking consistency in recent weeks, scoring at least twice in all of their last seven league matches.
On the other hand, Botafogo’s defensive stats in away games don’t suggest they can prevent being outscored by the hosts’ in-form attacking line.
Goals likely on both sides when Fortaleza take on Athletico PR
Fortaleza have struggled for consistency throughout the season, but their attacking numbers in home games have stayed mostly consistent.
This weekend, they will take on Athletico PR, who come into the game on the back of a 2-2 draw with Palmeiras.
Having scored in their last six league games, Athletico will most likely find the back of the net against Fortaleza’s out-of-form backline.
However, the visitors’ underwhelming defensive stats in away games convince us that Fortaleza will also find enough chances to score on Sunday.
