Next, we switch over to South America and a look ahead to a couple of fixtures in the Brazilian Serie A with Santos taking on Avai as the betting tips continue at the Estádio Urbano Caldeira.
Santos Prediction – Can Santos win six on trot?
An impressive recent 5-match winning streak has helped lift Sunday afternoon’s hosts, Santos, into 2nd spot in the Brazilian top flight.
The hosts are now just 1 point behind the current Serie A league leaders, Palmeiras, so all three points in this clash would see Santos go top.
Recent wins against Ceara, Atletico Mineiro, Corinthians, Bahia and Botafogo should give the hosts plenty of momentum heading into this encounter.
They’ve also maintained a level of consistency too as Santos have lost just 1 of their last 11 matches overall in Serie A.
That rare defeat came in the shape of a heavy 4-0 loss away at table-toppers, Palmeiras, but results at home have been solid.
A home record of 4-1-0 9/2 includes wins over Fluminense, Vasco da Gama, Atletico Mineiro and Corinthians as well as 3 clean sheets.
With just 1 defeat out of their last 16 matches on home soil at their Estádio Urbano Caldeira, it’s hard to see Santos slipping up against bottom club Avai here.
Avai Prediction – Can Avai lift themselves off bottom spot?
After having gone without a win from their first 11 matches of the new Brazilian Serie A season, it’s perhaps no surprise that Avai occupy bottom spot in the division.
5 draws and 6 defeats have been Avai’s return in the domestic top flight to date, which means the visitors have earned just 5 points from the possible 33 on offer.
A severe lack of goals has helped contribute to Avai’s current plight as the visitors have scored just 4 goals in total so far this season.
Avai have also failed to score in 7 of their first 11 matches of the season too which certainly hasn’t helped matters.
To make things even worse, they now have to travel to face an in-form Santos outfit who have won their last 5 matches on the trot, in their own backyard.
The visitors possess a poor away record so far this season with stats of 0-1-5 2/10 while the bigger picture tells us they’re without a win from their last 10 away matches.
Key-Facts – Santos v Avai
- Santos have won their last 5 matches on the trot overall in Serie A
- Santos have lost just 1 out of their last 16 matches on home soil in Serie A
- Avai have lost 7 of their last 10 away matches in Serie A
Betting Tips Verdict
Santos must surely take all three points here in comfortable fashion to go top of Serie A.
