Football – Brazil – Serie A Betting Tips
This week also brings us action from the Brazilian top flight with Fluminense taking on Vitoria at the Maracana with betting tips information following below…
Fluminense come into this Thursday evening Serie A clash having recorded just one league win from their last seven matches overall, which was a 1-0 win over 8th placed Corinthians. However, despite this average run of results, the hosts still occupy 11th place and one of the qualifying positions for the Copa Sudamericana.
Tonight’s match against Vitoria though represents a match where Fluminense must get a result, at least a draw but all three points would put some daylight between themselves and the chasing pack, with Vitoria being one of the chasing teams behind them.
Fluminense possess a home record that stands at 5-2-3 10/9 which includes recent wins against Palmeiras and the aforementioned victory over Corinthians.
Vitoria make their way to the Maracana looking to record a third consecutive league win in Serie A following recent back-to-back wins over Atletico Mineiro and America Mineiro, both at home and both by 1-0 margins.
However, Vitoria had previously suffered three defeats on the trot against Gremio, Palmeiras and Flamengo within an overall run of five matches without a win which has held the visitors back from their pursuit of a top 12 finish in the Brazilian top flight.
But it’s Vitoria’s poor results away from home which appears to hold the key in this clash as the visitors have lost their last five away matches on the trot as well as going eight matches without success on their travels within an overall poor away record of 1-2-8 9/28.
With Vitoria conceding the most away goals in Serie A so far this season, my betting tips suggest this is a match where Fluminense can bounce back with a much needed win.
