Football – Brazil – Serie A Betting Tips
The football betting tips continue in the Brazilian top flight on Wednesday night as top of the table, Palmeiras, welcome Fluminense to their Allianz Parque in Sao Paulo with the hosts keen to extend their lead at the top of the division.
Palmeiras bring an impressive 18-match unbeaten run into this clash which includes recent wins over Gremio, Ceara and Santos, and although they’ve been pegged back with 1-1 draws away at Flamengo and Atletico Mineiro, the league leaders still possess a decent five point cushion ahead of second placed Internacional.
The home side also hold an excellent home record of 13-2-1 32/11 on home turf and have won their last 10 matches on the trot. In addition, they’ve beaten the -1 asian line in 7 of their 16 played and covered in 6.
Fluminense therefore face a daunting task of getting anything out of an in-form and dominant Palmeiras outfit on Tuesday night especially as they’re without a win from their last three league matches in Serie A.
The visitors have recorded just one win from their last five matches overall which was a 1-0 home win over Atletico Mineiro, but results away from home have really let them down in recent times as they’ve collected just one win from their last eight matches on their travels.
An away record of 3-4-9 15/28 is nothing to write home about as well as losing 4 of their last 6 on the road with defeats at Cruzeiro, Atletico PR, Flamengo and Santos. As well as a poor away record, Fluminense have also managed to keep just two clean sheets on the road this season.
My betting tips suggest that the hosts will be too strong here with the likes of Willian (9 goals) and Bruno Henrique (8 goals) looking to add to their goal tallies.
