Bragantino arrives this Matchday as one of the top teams in this 2025 Brasileirão season. They currently sit third in the standings, with a record of seven wins, two draws, and two losses, having scored 14 goals and conceding 8. The most important thing for Bragantino is that they are only 1 point behind Flamengo, so a win this Matchday could send them straight to the top of the table.
That said, the team is coming from two consecutive victories in this tournament, the most recent against Vasco da Gama, with a score of 2-0.
On the other hand, we have Bahia, a team seeking the necessary consistency to climb important positions and thus get into the fight for the top of the table.They are currently in seventh place in the table, with a record of five wins, three draws, and three defeats, having 11 goals scored and 11 conceded.
Clearly, they have shown a somewhat robust offense, but if the defense does not improve, they will not be able to win back-to-back games. In their most recent match, Bahia had an excellent win over Sao Paulo with a score of 2-1.
For this match, our prediction is a win for RB Bragantino.
Bragantino vs. Bahía Betting Pick: Bragantino

Vitória has not had a good season so far, as they are on the brink of the relegation zone. Specifically, the team is ranked #16 in the table, with a record of two wins, four draws, and five losses, having scored 10 goals and 14 conceded. The offense has not been lackluster, but their defense needs to be more compact to win games and get out of the terrible moment they are in.
In the last five matches played, Vitória has accumulated one win, one draw, and three defeats, the most recent being a 0-0 draw against Corinthians.
On the other hand, Cruzeiro has been pleasantly surprised by displaying a mind-blowing level of play so far this season. The team is in second place in the table, with a record of seven wins, two draws, and two losses, having scored 17 goals and eight conceded.
The only team better than Cruzeiro at the moment is Flamengo. However, the difference between them is only one point, and everything could change at the top of the Brasileirão standings in the coming weeks. Cruzeiro is coming from four wins and one draw in their last five games, the most recent being a 2-1 win against Palmeiras.
That said, our winner’s chip goes to Cruzeiro.
Vitória vs. Cruzeiro Betting Pick: Cruzeiro

Atlético MG has not had a good start to the season, as they have struggled to find consistency and climb up the standings. Right now, they are ninth in the standings, with a record of four wins, five draws, and two losses, having scored 11 goals and ten conceded.
However, it is fair to mention that the team has been playing much better in the last few weeks. In the previous five games, they accumulated three wins and two draws, something that makes them much more confident at this point in the season. In their most recent match, Atlético MG defeated Ceará with a score of 1-0.
On the other hand, Internacional is quite the opposite. The team started the season somewhat well, winning two matches and drawing others, but their performance began to fall progressively. Right now, they are in 14th place in the table, with a record of two wins, five draws, and four losses, with 12 goals scored and 16 conceded.
Internacional have not won in the Brazilian Serie A for more than a month, which has put them under intense pressure, as they are only 1 point above the relegation zone. Internacional has just lost to Fluminense 0-2 in their most recent match.
For this match, our prediction is a win for Atlético MG.
Atlético Mineiro vs. Internacional Betting Pick: Atlético Mineiro

São Paulo has struggled through the first 11 matchdays to find consistency and has failed to do so. Right now, they are ranked #13 in the table, with a record of two wins, six draws, and three losses, with nine goals scored and 11 conceded.
The team urgently needs their offense to wake up, as the six draws are taking their toll right now.However, it is fair to mention that they have only managed to win one of their last five games, something that is very worrying. Their most recent game was a 1-2 defeat against Bahia.
On the other hand, Vasco da Gama has not had a good start to the tournament either. The team is just above the relegation zone, equal with 10 points with Fortaleza, so a defeat this Matchday could send them directly to the bottom of the standings.
Similarly, Vasco da Gama is capable of scoring goals in matches, but their defense has not performed up to par. If they can change this, they could move away from the dreaded relegation zone. The team is coming off a loss in their most recent match against Bragantino, with a score of 0-2.
Unless something extraordinary happens, São Paulo should take the win in this match.
