Sunday's Brasileiro predictions including Fortaleza vs. Palmeiras

sportsmole.co.uk, 10 July 2022, 05:05
Coritiba vs. Juventude (Sunday, 3.00pm)

Aiming to build on the second-best home record in the Campeonato Brasileiro, Coritiba welcome lowly Juventude to Estadio Couto Pereira on Sunday.

Now sitting 12th in the Serie A standings, following their fifth league win there this season, the hosts tackle an away side who last tasted victory over a month ago.

We say: Coritiba 2-1 Juventude

The two teams with the leakiest defences in Serie A convene on Saturday, so there are likely to be goals at either end.

Confidence from their overdue win last week can help Coritiba edge out Juve in a closely contested affair; further building an impressive points return on home soil.

Corinthians vs. Flamengo (Sunday, 8.00pm)

After both clubs progressed to the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals in midweek, Corinthians and Flamengo meet in the Campeonato Brasileiro on Sunday, at Neo Quimica Arena.

While the visitors cruised through - building on back-to-back league wins - their hosts required a dramatic penalty shootout to reach the last eight, where the two clubs meet next month.

We say: Corinthians 1-1 Flamengo

The morale boost from midweek events should lift both sides for the occasion, but neither is likely to give too much away ahead of their two-legged Libertadores tie in the coming weeks.

Despite benefiting from home advantage, Corinthians are still short of quality up front, so may be forced to settle for a low-scoring draw.

Atletico Mineiro vs. Sao Paulo (Sunday, 10.00pm)

The reigning Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A champions, Atletico Mineiro, have first place within reach as they host Sao Paulo on Sunday at Mineirao.

Atletico sit two points behind the leaders Palmeiras heading into this encounter, while Sao Paulo have only suffered one defeat in their previous seven domestic road fixtures.

We say: Atletico Mineiro 1-0 Sao Paulo

Despite the quality that both teams possess in the attack, we anticipate this will be a cagey affair as Sao Paulo like to keep things tight and are not as aggressive away from home, while Mineiro tend to take some time to settle into a match.

Galo always seem to find a way to get the job done on their home field, and having an extra couple of days to rest should be enough to see them narrowly defeat Tricolor Paulista.

Santos vs. Atletico GO (Sunday, 10.00pm)

Two Brasileiro Serie A sides struggling for form will lock horns at the Estadio Urbano Caldeira on Sunday as Santos play host to Atletico Goianiense.

The hosts have failed to win any of their last seven home games across all competitions, while the visitors have only won one of their last seven matches on the road.

We say: Santos 1-1 Atletico Goianiense

Both sides will be keen to turn their fortunes around and put together a strong run of form as they bid to climb away from danger.

The visitors have fared better in recent meetings between the two teams, but with little to separate them on this occasion, a score draw could be on the cards.

Fortaleza vs. Palmeiras (Sunday, 10.00pm)

Basement club Fortaleza will be looking to boost their hopes of survival when they welcome Brasileiro Serie A leaders Palmeiras to the Castelao on Sunday.

The hosts are unbeaten in each of their last five games across all competitions, while the visitors have lost only one of their last 13 matches on the road.

We say: Fortaleza 1-3 Palmeiras

Table toppers Palmeiras will understandably be the strong favourites to come out on top against the league's lowest-ranked side Fortaleza, but the latter have caused numerous problems in recent meetings and will be hoping to cause another upset this weekend.

Nevertheless, the visitors should have plenty of firepower to outscore their opponents and secure maximum points.

Cuiaba vs. Botafogo (Sunday, 11.00pm)

After a come-from-behind victory to kick off the month of July, Cuiaba return home to Arena Pantanal on Sunday, where they will host Botafogo for the first time in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A.

Dourado are a point below the relegation zone following a 2-1 win at Avai last weekend, while Fogo sit three points back of a spot in the 2023 Copa Libertadores qualifiers after blanking Bragantino 1-0.

We say: Cuiaba 0-1 Botafogo

Cuiaba have done well to compete and stay in the majority of their encounters, but they consistently struggle to maintain quality and discipline, which we believe will tip the scales in favour of the visitors.
