The emotions continue in the 2022 season of the most important soccer league in South America, the Brasileirão Serie A, and with these emotions, we reach the 16th matchday, which we are sure will be full of emotions from start to finish, with many teams looking to fight for the top spots in the standings.
For this matchday 16, we will have Palmeiras trying to stay in first place in the standings, after putting it in danger in the previous round, unexpectedly losing their match at home. We also have Paranaense and Atlético Mineiro, who continue with their good momentum in the season and will try to storm that first position.
Then, we have a string of teams that despite not starting the season in the best possible way, right now are just a few points away from first places, such as the case of Corinthians, who for the first time dropped below the first two positions in the standings, also Internacional and Fluminense, who has had a spectacular last few weeks and has climbed many positions.
Next, we will have a summary of the most important matches of this day with their respective betting odds.

One of the matches that in theory would be one of the most even of this 16th round of the Brazilian championship is the one that will be played this Saturday, July 09, 2022, Goiás vs. Atlético Paranaense, which will be at the Estadio da Serrinha, home of Goiás.
Goiás comes to this match with many doubts about their approach to the game, as they are one of the teams that are not playing at their highest competitive level and that is why they are located in the relegation zone, specifically in position #17 of the standings, with a record of 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats.
They come from losing their last match against América-MG, with a score of 0-1.
On the other hand, we have Paranaense, a team that has quietly managed to sneak into the TOP 3 of the standings and, right now, is tied for second place in the table with Atlético Mineiro with 27 points, just 2 points behind Palmeiras, owner of the first place.
Paranaense comes into this match with an excellent 14-match unbeaten record, counting matches in the local league, the Brazilian Cup, and the Copa Libertadores de América.
They are coming off an excellent 2-0 win over Palmeiras and a 1-1 draw against Libertad in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16, a result that helped them qualify for the quarterfinals.
Goiás vs. Paranaense Betting Pick: Draw

This Sunday, July 10, 2022, tournament leader Palmeiras will visit one of the worst teams in the league this season, Fortaleza, at the Castelão Stadium, in what will be the match corresponding to the 16th matchday of the Brasileirão Serie A.
Fortaleza continues in its bad moment; it seems that they are still in the preseason, or they are simply trying to find the ideal formula to get them out of the relegation zone to avoid playing in the second division of Brazilian soccer next season. Fortaleza is in last place in the standings, with a terrible record of 2 wins, 4 draws, and 9 defeats.
While it is true that the other half of the season is still to come, Fortaleza needs to drastically change its approach to get out of the terrible moment they are going through and start climbing up the standings.
On the other hand, we have Palmeiras, the leader of the standings and the best team in the league so far this season. They managed to storm the first place that was in the hands of Corinthians for several weeks and, now they are alone in this first place.
Palmeiras has just beaten Cerro Porteño in the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores de América, with a score of 5-0.
Fortaleza vs. Palmeiras Betting Pick: Palmeiras

On this 16th matchday of the Brasileirão Serie A, we will have another great match to enjoy this Sunday, July 10, 2022, when Atlético Mineiro will host São Paulo at the Mineirao Stadium at 05:00 pm ET.
Atlético Mineiro has managed to recover the excellent level that led them to win last season’s championship trophy. Despite struggling some weeks ago, Atlético Mineiro has returned to winning ways and is now just 2 points behind the coveted first place, which is occupied by Palmeiras.
Their record is 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 defeats, being just with Palmeiras, the team with the fewest defeats in the season.
The locals come to this match after qualifying for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores de América by defeating Emelec 2-1 on aggregate.
On the other hand, we have São Paulo, a team that despite having ups and downs so far in the first half of the season, has managed to score points in almost all the matches they have played and, thanks to this, they are located in the #7 position in the standings, 7 points behind the first place.
São Paulo has managed to take 4 out of 6 points in their last 2 games, which has helped them stay in the upper-middle of the standings. In their last match of the Brazilian championship, they managed to get a very good victory against Atlético Goianiense, with a score of 2-1.
Atlético Mineiro vs. São Paulo Betting Pick: Atlético Mineiro

Finally, the last match that we will have in this summary of this matchday 16 of the Brasileirão Serie A will be the one that will dispute Corinthians and Flamengo, next Sunday, July 10, 2022, at the Arena Corinthians.
This match will undoubtedly be the highlight of this Brasileirao Serie A matchday, which is why we invite you not to miss this great game and place your bets with our predictions.
Corinthians had been the most consistent team in the first half of the Brasileirão Serie A season, but in the last few weeks they have looked a little tired and the matches they have played during the week have taken their toll.
Regardless of this, Corinthians managed to eliminate one of the most important teams in South American soccer, Boca Juniors, in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores de América, after a penalty shootout that they ended up winning with an excellent and tight score of 6-5.
On the other hand, we have Flamengo, another of the historical Brazilian teams that are trying to recover the level of play that has characterized them in the last seasons and that helped them to be labeled as favorites for this tournament.
Flamengo is currently ranked #8 in the standings, but it seems that they have found the formula that will lead them to victory, as they come to this match after two very good victories in the local league and a crushing victory in the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores against Deportes Tolima, with an extraordinary score of 7-1.
