Brazil Serie A Betting Tips (2023): 3 Picks for Matchday 17

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 17 of the Brazilian top flight.

Don’t expect goals when Atletico Mineiro face Flamengo

Flamengo come into their next game on the back of a run of three consecutive draws. Their opponents, Atletico Mineiro, haven’t won a single league game since June 3.

Both sides have struggled for attacking consistency in recent weeks. Flamengo come into the game as the clear favourites, but their poor goalscoring stats in away games convinces us that they won’t find many chances against Atletico.

The visitors, on the other hand, will most likely hope to snatch a draw. Their record of keeping clean sheets in their last two away games suggests we shouldn’t expect an eventful match.

Back Sao Paulo to beat Bahia

Sao Paulo slipped to sixth spot on the league table after a narrow defeat against Cuiaba last weekend. But we expect them to return to winning ways by beating Bahia.

The hosts have shown incredible attacking form in their recent home games. Their opponents, on the other hand, haven’t kept a clean sheet away from home since early June.

Bahia have also struggled to score in recent weeks. Having scored once in their last three league games, Bahia will most likely struggle against their opponents’ in-form backline.

Goals likely on both sides when Santos meet Fluminense

Fluminense lost their last week’s match against Coritiba, but they still go into their next match as favourites. Santos’ poor defensive form in recent weeks suggests they will most likely give away enough opportunities in the upcoming match.

Fluminense have also failed to match their attacking quality in defence. Their underwhelming display against Cortibia convinces us that Santos will have a chance of finding the back of the net on Saturday.
