Brasileirão Matchday 7 Weekly Picks Betting Odds

Brasileirão Matchday 7: Ceará vs. Vitória

Ceará had a promising start to the season, with two good wins that positioned them in the upper part of the table. However, they dropped their performance. Right now, they are ninth in the standings, with a record of two wins, two draws, and two losses, with eight goals scored and seven conceded.

Ceará needs to find that rhythm of play with which they started the season. Otherwise, they will continue to fall the table. The team is coming from a draw in its most recent match against São Paulo 1-1.

Vitória, on the other hand, have not had a bad start, as they have managed to score points in 4 of their six matches. However, their record is one win, three draws, and one loss, which keeps them in 16th place in the standings.

Vitória has been playing well so far, but they need to turn those draws into wins if they don’t want to fall into the relegation zone after this matchday 7. As we mentioned, the team is coming from 2 consecutive draws, the most recent being against Gremio by 1-1.

For this match, our winner’s chip is on Ceará.

Ceará vs. Vitória Betting Pick: Ceará

Brasileirão Matchday 7: Fluminense vs. Sport Recife

After a somewhat shaky start with a loss on matchday 1, Fluminense managed to bounce back by winning three games in a row. They drew on matchday five and finally took their second loss, this time at the hands of Botafogo, last weekend.

After these results, Fluminense, with six goals scored and six conceded, is in fifth place in the table with 10 points, four behind Flamengo at the top. This team needs to wake up its offense to get back on track to winning ways and stay in the fight for the top of the table.

On the other hand, Sport Recife is the worst team at the beginning of the season, as they are not only at the bottom of the table, but they do not know what a win is after six games played.Right now, the team’s record is two draws and four losses, with only three goals scored and eight conceded.

Sport Recife urgently needs a win in the next few games, as it will be difficult for them to get out of the bottom of the standings. After four consecutive defeats, Sport Recife managed a draw on the previous matchday.

There is no doubt that, for this match, our prediction is a victory for Fluminense.

Fluminense vs. Sport Recife Betting Pick: Fluminense

Brasileirão Matchday 7: Vasco da Gama vs. Palmeiras

Vasco da Gama has had an extremely inconsistent start to the season, as they have not been able to score points in consecutive matches. Right now, they have a record of two wins, one draw, and three losses, with six goals scored and eight conceded. Although they have managed to maintain an average of 1 goal scored per game, they need more determination to win in a row.

The team has two defeats and one draw in the last three games, the most recent being a 0-1 defeat against Cruzeiro.

On the other hand, Palmeiras, as one of the great favorites to win the Brasileirao championship trophy this season, has started on the right foot in the 2025 season.

Currently, the Verdão is second in the standings with a record of four wins, one draw, and one loss, just one point behind Flamengo at the top of the table. Palmeiras has based its play on defense, allowing only three goals in the six games. However, their offense remains a bit lackluster, with only seven goals scored.

As a result, if Palmeiras’ attack is on fire, they will undoubtedly continue to win games and keep chasing Flamengo at the top of the standings. Palmeiras come into this matchday from a 1-0 home loss to Bahia.

That said, we expect Palmeiras to return to winning ways and take a 3-0 victory.

Vasco da Gama vs. Palmeiras Betting Pick: Palmeiras

Brasileirão Matchday 7: Cruzeiro vs. Flamengo

Cruzeiro started the Brasileirão season with many doubts, that’s for sure, but, little by little, they have recovered their rhythm and, thanks to that, they are still alive in the fight for first place in the table. Cruzeiro is currently fourth in the standings with a record of three wins, one draw, and two defeats, with seven goals scored and six conceded.

While they have had many doubts so far, Cruzeiro has been able to win the necessary games to stay inside the TOP 4 of the standings. Moreover, their most recent match was a 1-0 win over Vasco da Gama.

On the other hand, Flamengo is the best team at the start of the 2025 Brasileirao season. They lead the Brazilian soccer standings with an excellent four-wins and two-draws record.

Moreover, the team’s offensive capacity is outstanding. They have scored up to 15 goals in the six games they have played, more than two goals scored per game on average. However, this is not all, as Flamengo’s defense has been almost perfect, with only two goals conceded so far.

Flamengo and Palmeiras will have an intense battle for the top of the table, so expect good games from both teams.

For this match, our winner’s chip goes to Flamengo with a score of 2-0.
