Football – Brazil – Serie A Betting Tips

The first of my Brazilian Serie A picks for this Sunday features a relegation clash between hosts Figueirense and second from bottom club Santa Cruz at the Estádio Orlando Scarpelli with a precious three points up for grabs for both teams.

Although Figueirense occupy one of the bottom four relegation places coming into this match, they have suffered just one defeat on home soil so far this season which was a surprise 2-1 defeat by Cruzeiro but since that loss, the hosts have registered all three points with a win over Atletico PR and collected a point against a rejuvenated America Mineiro in a 2-2 draw.

Figueirense’s home record stands at a solid looking  5-7-1  15/11 and it’s actually just one defeat from their last 15 matches played on home turf which is some record for a team fighting against relegation!

Onto the visitors Santa Cruz, and they sit second from bottom in the Brazilian top flight six points adrift of Vitoria and safety with 12 games remaining of the season, so there’s still plenty of work to do for the away side as they make their way to Figueirense today.

Santa Cruz have recorded just one league win from their last 11 encounters which was a recent 1-0 home win over Atletico PR, but having lost four of their last six matches overall with defeats to Fluminense, Cruzeiro, Sport Recife and Santos, they could struggle again here today.

The visitors also possess a very poor away record which stands at  1-4-8  16/26 as they’re without a win from their last six on the road, and they’ve lost their last three on the trot on their travels in addition.
