Wednesday's Brasileiro predictions including Atletico Mineiro vs. Flamengo

Cuiaba vs. Botafogo (Wednesday, 11.00pm)

Cuiaba will be hoping to extend their current unbeaten run in Brasileiro when they take on Botafogo at Arena Pantanal on Wednesday night.

The hosts have got themselves to 14th place in the league standings with 13 points in as many matches, while the visitors are second with 24 points over the same period.

We say: Cuiaba 1-1 Botafogo

While Botafogo are enjoying an impressive season, Cuiaba have proven to be a difficult team to beat in recent weeks, particularly at home where they are looking to extend their unbeaten run to five in a row.

This should be a close encounter and we feel it will end level at the final whistle.

Vasco vs. Fortaleza (Thursday, 12.00am)

Fortaleza will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Brasileiro Serie A when they travel to out-of-form Vasco da Gama at the Estadio Sao Januario on Thursday.

Vasco could find themselves in the relegation zone if results do not go their way, while their opponents are hoping to break into the Copa Libertadores spots.

We say: Vasco da Gama 1-1 Fortaleza

While Vasco have lost every single away game, they have looked a better team on home soil, and their chances of getting something in this game is increased by Fortaleza's poor away record - considering these factors, we have settled for a score draw in this one.

Criciuma vs. Cruzeiro (Thursday, 12.00am)

Criciuma host Cruzeiro at the Estadio Heriberto Hulse on Thursday for round 14 of the Brasileiro Serie A.

The hosts come into this clash after a two-game winless run, while their visitors suffered their fourth defeat of the season last time out.

We say: Criciuma 1-1 Cruzeiro

This is a clash between a home team that has struggled at home and an away team that has been underwhelming on the road.

The last three encounters between them have been tight, and we anticipate another close contest, with the score level at the final whistle.

Atletico Mineiro vs. Flamengo (Thursday, 1.30am)

Atletico Mineiro and Flamengo face off against each other at the MRV Arena on Thursday morning in round 14 of the 2024 Brasileiro season.

The hosts had to make do with a share of the spoils in their most recent outing, while their visitors picked up a third win in four matches.

We say: Atletico Mineiro 1-1 Flamengo

Flamengo are the more in-form side heading into this one and will back themselves to come away with maximum points. However, we can see Atletico Mineiro battling hard to force a share of the spoils in the end.

Bragantino vs. Atletico GO (Thursday, 1.30am)

Gameweek 14 in Brasileiro will see RB Bragantino take on a stuttering Atletico Goianiense at Estadio Nabi Abi Chedid in Sao Paulo on Thursday morning.

The hosts enter this match in ninth place in a tightly compact mid-table, while the visitors are currently the first side below the dotted line after 13 league games.

We say: Bragantino 2-1 Atletico Goianiense

Both these sides have been a bit of a mixed bag this season but RB Bragantino have done well at home, suffering only one defeat in six home matches this term, and we feel they will edge this result by the odd goal.

Athletico PR vs. Sao Paulo (Thursday, 1.30am)

Seeking to secure back-to-back Serie A wins for the first time since May, Athletico Paranaense play host to Sao Paulo at the Arena da Baixada on Wednesday.

The Tricolor Paulista have failed to win each of their last three games on the road since May and will head into the midweek clash looking to end this dry spell as they continue their surge into the upper echelons of the table.

We say: Athletico Paranaense 1-1 Sao Paulo

Off the back of winning their last two matches, Sao Paulo will head into Wednesday with confidence as they look to leapfrog the home side in the table. However, Paranaense have been rock-solid at home this season and we predict they will do just enough to force a share of the spoils.
