Football – Brazil – Serie A Betting Tips
Having won their last two home matches on the trot, tonight’s hosts Flamengo will be in confident mood ahead of their clash against rock-bottom club America Mineiro at their Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho (Maracana) as the home side look to keep up their challenge for a Copa Libertadores place.
Flamengo have recently accounted for Internacional and Atletico Mineiro on home soil along with last weekend’s entertaining 3-3 draw away at Botafogo, and their home record of 4-2-2 11/8 suggests they should be too strong for their struggling opponents tonight.
Flamengo have recently signed Diego, and they have the momentum behind them to capture all three points this evening to keep tabs on the top teams.
Visitors America Mineiro sit bottom of the Brazilian top flight with just 8 points to their name as we almost reach the halfway stage of the season. Six defeats on the trot was too much for the board, and they duly sacked former manager Sergio Vieira who failed to make an impact at the top level.
In addition, America Mineiro have struggled to find the back of the net in recent weeks as they’ve failed to score in each of their last six Serie A matches, and have conceded goals at the back on a regular basis throughout this season already.
America’s away record also stands at a poor 0-1-6 4/16 and perhaps unsurprisingly, they possess the worst away record in the division to date!
This must be a home win, and I’ll also back Flamengo to cover the asian handicap line too.
