Flamengo – Santos

We start it off with a big game in the twenty-fifth gameweek of the Brazilian football league , with Flamengo hosting Santos. The match will take place on Sunday, December 13, 2020, at the Maracana Stadium, and this matchup is set to be a good interstate derby between these two traditional clubs.

After having won both Brasileirao and Libertadores last year, the hosts follow this season in third place with 42 points, 8 away from leader Sao Paulo, but with a game in hand, which may reduce the difference to 5.

Santos is eighth with 38 points, seeking to finish in the first six places, which give access to the Copa Libertadores next season.

  • Flamengo have scored 38 goals in 23 matches.
  • The visitors have 36 goals in 24 matches.
  • 9 of Flamengo’s last 12 home matches have had over 2.5 goals!
  • 3 of the last 5 Santos games have had over 2.5 goals!

In a match between two very talented teams who need a lot of points, we believe in an open game, with chances of goal next to both sides and with more than 2.5 goals! If you want to get riskier, bet on a Flamengo win or a draw, plus over 2.5 goals.

Vasco da Gama – Fluminense

Rio de Janeiro derby between Vasco da Gama and Fluminense closing the 25th matchday on Monday, December 14.

Despite the traditional rivalry, these two clubs fight for distinct things in the table currently. Vasco da Gama occupies the seventeenth place in the league table, 1 point below the relegation zone, and does not go through a good moment in form with 2 losses in the last 2 rounds.

Fluminense, on the other hand, is fifth, with 39 points added, a position that they would like to keep until the end of the season, as it gives access to next year’s Libertadores Cup.

  • Fluminense have scored 34 goals in 24 games.
  • Last season, Fluminense won 2-0 at Vasco.
  • The visitors are in good form with 2 wins and 1 draw in the last 3 matches.

Despite playing away from home, Fluminense is in a superior moment and thus, a Fluminense win should be the best alternative for this matchup. However, as we are talking about a local derby, go for a more conservative stance, betting on a double chance for Fluminense or draw.

Corinthians – Sao Paulo

Another derby, this time from the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo. Brasileirao leaders Sao Paulo will travel to Corinthians in order to maybe go 10 points clear of the second place in the league.

The match will take place on Sunday, November 13, 2020.

Corinthians is a traditional strong team and commonly play very good games when it comes to derbies. Currently, the hosts are eleventh place with 30 points added and certainly will do everything to stop their local rivals.

Sao Paulo remains at the top of the standings with 50 points. In the next three games, they will be tested to prove they deserve the Brazilian league title, as they will face Corinthians, Atletico Mineiro and Fluminense, besides Gremio in the Brazilian Cup in a space of two weeks.

  • In 6 of the last 7 home games against Sao Paulo, Corinthians won.
  • In 7 of the last 8 away matches, Sao Paulo conceded goals.
  • Corinthians lost only 1 of the last 7 games played.

With the difficulties accumulating in the coming weeks for Sao Paulo, we believe that Corinthians has an excellent opportunity to beat their local rivals and leave with the three points. We don’t believe in a draw for this game, so if you want to go for a double chance, we advise you to go for Corinthians or Sao Paulo to win.

Conclusion

 

Due to calendar differences, the Brazilian League is different from the rest of European leagues, meaning that they usually start their leagues mid may until December, differently from the traditional mid September to mid May in Europe.

Sao Paulo are right now the best team in the League, but we can’t scrape Flamengo out, as they have the best overall squad in South America, and suffered with an injury and political crisis, that seems to be settling down right now.
