Serie A Brasileiro Matchday 18, Saturday, 20.07.2024 at 21:00
The 18th matchday in Serie A Brasileiro opens on Saturday evening with Rubro-Negro and Tigre. It could be the expected one-sided game.
The third-placed team in the table and a contender for every title on the South American continent will face a promoted team.
My Flamengo Criciuma betting tip reveals whether it will end up being as clear-cut as everyone expects and which bookmakers offer the best odds
After the Copa America, you could get the feeling that Brazilian soccer is at rock bottom. The national team had already been eliminated in the quarter-finals.
Certainly a snapshot. But it is not one at club level. Because there, Brazilian teams have been calling the shots for years
Since 2019, at least one team from the Sugarloaf Mountain has reached the Copa Libertadores final. Three times there has even been an all-Brazilian final.
And this season, too, a lot would have to come together for the final to take place without Brazilian participation
The Rubro-Negro have reached three finals and won two since 2019. They are one of the absolute top teams on the continent, both internationally and nationally!
However, it is also true that they have recently lost their stride somewhat. They have only managed two wins in their last five league games
However, they were the team that scored the second most goals during this phase (9). Will they be able to produce such a good offensive performance again this time?
Betano bookmakers have odds of around 1.60 for your Flamengo Criciuma bet before kick-off if the home side score at least twice
That would at least fit in with the visitors’ series. As promoted teams, they have established themselves well in the league so far, but are only two points above the bottom line.
In this respect, they now have to score again after picking up just one point in their last three games. Which is also due to their weakness on the road
In the last five games, there have been four defeats and just one win. If we include the cup match against Bahia, that makes five defeats.
In the last three, the Tigre have conceded exactly two goals. But, and I have to give them credit for this: They have never gone 12 games without scoring themselves.
It is therefore interesting from my point of view that the bookmakers at Betway are predicting odds of over 1.90 in the Flamengo Criciuma betting tip if both teams score.
Because defensively the Rubro-Negro are not yet convincing. 17 goals conceded compared to leaders Botafogo (14) and Palmeiras (12) is quite a statement.
This was mostly offset by Pedro. The attacker has already contributed eight goals and five assists for his team
But the artists can’t score goals up front and clean up at the back. So it is exciting to see that exactly three goals have been scored in five of the Mengão’s last six home games in all competitions.
This has also been the case in the visitors’ last four away games. If three goals are scored again, you will find odds of 3.80.
for your Flamengo Criciuma bet at Tipwin Sportwetten.
As you can see, the visitors are not completely without a chance, even if a lot has to come together for a win. The individual class of the home side could be too great.
It could therefore be a match in which Rubro-Negro will have to exercise patience for a long time. Also because Bruno Henrique, an important man in midfield, is missing, I expect a tough game.
My Flamengo Criciuma tip is therefore: Home win and under 4.5 goals!
