Last Updated on September 20, 2023 3:22 pm by Erwin Noguera

The excitement of the 2023 Brasileirão season continues with a matchday 24 full of action that we will enjoy during the week.

There is no doubt that the teams know that the season’s final stretch is approaching, so they must adjust the necessary pieces to achieve as many victories as possible. In addition, there is also the fact that Botafogo is skidding at the moment after two consecutive defeats, which makes the teams in the hunt rekindle their hopes of fighting for the championship trophy.

Right now, there is a lot of parity in all areas of the table, and each matchday can mean a total change in the positions, so no team will want to lose a single point from now on.

Why Bet on Fluminense?

The ‘Flu’, as they are popularly known in Rio de Janeiro, come into this matchday with a somewhat irregular level of play, as they have not managed to raise their heads in this second half of the season to fight for the top of the table.

However, the team remains in sixth place in the standings, with 11 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats. Although Fluminense has scored 33 goals in 23 matches, there is no doubt that they need to strengthen their defense a bit, as they have conceded up to 26 so far this season, and, as a result, they are not in a better position in the table.

Similarly, in the last 5 matches played by the Fluzão, they have accumulated 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 defeats, the last being a defeat against Vasco da Gama, with a score of 4-2. There is no doubt that this defeat affected the team a lot, as Vasco is one of the worst teams in this Brasileirão edition.

Why Bet on Cruzeiro?

On the other hand, we have Cruzeiro, another team with an irregular season, but they are still inside the South American international competition places.

Likewise, given how tight the overall standings are, Cruzeiro could climb a few positions if they get on a good winning streak. However, the chances of them finishing higher than 7th place in the table are slim, considering that the teams are playing at a high level during the season.

The ‘Black Beast’ comes into this matchday after an excellent 3-0 victory over Santos in the previous round.
