Football – Brazil – Serie A Betting Tips
Vasco da Gama play host to high-flying Sao Paulo at their Estádio Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama in Rio de Janeiro as the betting tips continue in the Brazilian Serie A.
Vasco da Gama’s battle against relegation continues as they look to make the most of their home advantage on Thursday night where they’ll be keen to bounce back from their recent 1-0 loss away at Corinthians.
Recent results have seen Vasco post mixed returns as they’ve gained wins over Cruzeiro and Fluminense but have also suffered defeats to Sport Recife, Gremio and Corinthians. However, on home soil they’ve lost just once in their last eight matches, but they keep conceding goals which has undone their good work in recent times.
A home record of 8-5-4 27/23 includes both teams scoring in 13 of their 17 home matches to date. Pikachu (9 goals, 3 assists) and Rios (7 goals) are the host’s main goal threats.
Sao Paulo sit in 5th spot in the Brazilian top flight but they’re level on points with 4th placed Gremio who occupy one of the Copa Libertadores qualifying places so the visitors will be keen to get at least a point if not all three when they make their way to Rio de Janeiro on Thursday night.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last six matches overall which includes wins over Vitoria and Cruzeiro as well as four draws, three of which were score-draws with Flamengo, Corinthians and Gremio in 2-2, 1-1 and 1-1 stalemates respectively.
Sao Paulo’s away form has been so-so in recent times as they’ve won two, lost two and drawn four in their last eight matches on their travels amidst an overall record of 6-7-4 21/18. Both teams have scored in 10 of their 17 away matches so far this season.
Forwards Souza (12 goals) and Nene (8 goals) are the main threats up front for Sao Paulo.
My betting tips can see both teams scoring here.
