SANTOS v INTERNACIONAL
Sunday 10th June 2018 – Kickoff: 1900hrs
Football – Brazil – Serie A Betting Tips
Although Santos currently occupy a place in the bottom half of the Brazilian Serie A, they’ll come into this Sunday evening clash in reasonably confident mood when they take on Internacional at their Estádio Urbano Caldeira in Sao Paulo.
Three recent defeats on the trot against Sao Paulo, Cruzeiro and Atletico PR had threatened to drop Santos into the relegation zone, but a 5-2 home win over Vitoria followed by a very impressive point away from home at Corinthians in a 1-1 draw has been welcome relief for tonight’s hosts.
Santos have lost just twice in their last 17 matches on home soil, and they possess a home record this season of 3-0-1 10/4 which includes wins against Ceara, Parana and Vitoria, as well as being the third highest goal scorers at home in Serie A. Forwards Rodrygo (5 goals) and Gabriel (3 goals) are the main threats for the hosts.
Internacional bring a six-match unbeaten run with them into this encounter at Santos which includes recent wins over Chapecoense, Corinthians and Vitoria, although it should be pointed out that the former two victories were recorded at their Estádio José Pinheiro Borda in Porto Alegre.
Switch to results away from home though, and you’ll find that Internacional have gained just one away win so far this season which was a 3-2 win at Vitoria, along with draws at Gremio and Sao Paulo, and defeats at Palmeiras and Flamengo.
Step away further, and you’ll find that the win at Vitoria has been their only success from their last 22 away matches in Serie A, along with failing to score in four of their last five on their travels.
Backing Santos with the draw no bet option therefore seems a sensible play…
