Football – Brazil – Serie A Betting Tips

Flamengo will be keen to keep tabs on Brazilian Serie A league leaders Palmeiras this afternoon when they entertain lowly Cruzeiro at the Maracana as the hosts are expected to push forward from the kick-off in pursuit of another three points.

Flamengo have hit some decent form in recent weeks as they’ve put together a six-match unbeaten run heading into this afternoon’s clash with the home side winning five of these last six with wins against Gremio, Chapecoense, Ponte Preta, Vitoria and Figueirense.

The hosts also boast a very good home record that stands at  9-2-2  20/11 which includes having won their last seven Serie A matches at home on the trot, scoring a total of 12 goals and conceding just three goals in reply during this prolific sequence.

Visitors Cruzeiro currently sit just two league positions and two points above the bottom four in the Brazilian top flight as they make their way to Flamengo having gone three matches without success in recent weeks.

A six-match unbeaten run came to an abrupt end for the visitors as they have suffered recent defeats to Botafogo and Sao Paulo along with gaining a point against Atletico Mineiro in a 1-1 draw at home, while their results on the road continue to be very inconsistent.

Cruzeiro possess an away record of  5-1-7  16/19 which underlines their ‘hit-and-miss’ tag on their travels this season, and it’s hard to tell which Cruzeiro side will turn up at the Maracana this afternoon to be honest.

But I believe Flamengo with home advantage should take the points here.
