Brasileirão Matchday 22 Weekly Picks Betting Odds

22ª rodada do Brasileirão: Botafogo x Bragantino

Botafogo will be looking to bounce back after a poor start at home, with a record that shows they have not won at home in their last four league games.

Despite this deficit, they are in good form overall, coming off a powerful 3-1 win over Juventude in the Brasileirão. In that match, they controlled 50% of the ball, attempted 13 shots with six on target, and were effective in attack, with Telles (39′) and Ramos (83′, 90′) scoring the goals.

However, one aspect to note is their tendency for matches where at least one team fails to score. In five of their last six games, this occurred, suggesting either a strong defensive performance in some instances or an offense that has tended to produce more one-sided results.

For their part, Red Bull Bragantino come into the game on the back of a 4-2 win over Fluminense in which, despite having less possession (36%), they were clinical in attack. Their four goals came from Jhon (2′), Sasha (4′), Laquintana (48′), and Davi Gomes (81′), while Fluminense had many more chances (21 shots), highlighting a recurring defensive fragility: they have conceded goals in each of their last six games, accumulating 11 goals against.

This match is expected to be an intense clash between Botafogo, who need to regain their strength at home, and Bragantino, who arrive with confidence in their scoring ability, but with challenges at the back.

Brasileirão Matchday 22:Santos vs. Fluminense

Santos, playing at home, will look to take advantage of the support of their fans to impose their game, although their inconsistency makes them a difficult team to predict.

The Alvinegro side has shown ups and downs in recent games, with matches where their attack is on fire, but at the same time, they suffer at the back when they fail to maintain their concentration. The lack of defensive consistency has been one of their main problems, and against an opponent like Fluminense, they will have to find the right balance between attacking with depth and not leaving spaces that could cost them dearly. It remains to be seen whether the team’s stars, now without Neymar, will be able to get a positive result on this matchday.

Fluminense, for its part, is a team with a strong identity of possession and offensive play, but it has also shown fragility at the back in several recent matches. Its games tend to produce goals for both sides, which suggests an open match at Vila Belmiro.

Flu has failed to show consistency in its recent matches, but it looks like it could make a statement in this away game against Santos.

Given the current state of both teams, a draw seems like a likely outcome in this clash.

Santos vs. Fluminense Betting Pick: Draw

22ª rodada do Brasileirão: Corinthians x Palmeiras

The São Paulo classic between Corinthians and Palmeiras will reignite the rivalry at the Neo Química Arena. This clash transcends the points at stake: it is one of the most intense derbies in Brazilian soccer, steeped in history and emotion.

The bookmakers have Palmeiras as favorites, but in this type of match, the psychological factor and the pressure of the atmosphere can balance the forces. There is no doubt that we all know that Verdão is always the favorite to win the title, but Brazilian soccer is becoming increasingly balanced.

They are second in the table, only four points behind Flamengo, with one game in hand, which makes this match even more interesting.

Corinthians are desperate to show a better side of themselves in the tournament, especially after some inconsistent performances in recent games. Playing at home always gives them an advantage, but the challenge will be to maintain their defensive solidity against one of the most powerful attacks in the championship.

This team got off to an excellent start to the season, but they have gradually lost momentum and are now in the middle of the table. In addition, they have won only one of their last five games.

Palmeiras, on the other hand, is in great form. Abel Ferreira’s team has shown consistency, both in the league and in international competitions, and its squad combines defensive balance with offensive strength.

With big names in attack and a consolidated tactical structure, Verdão arrives with the confidence needed to prevail in what is always hostile territory.

22ª rodada do Brasileirão: Flamengo x Grêmio

Finally, the Maracanã will be decked out to welcome Flamengo against Grêmio in one of the most exciting matches of the day.

The Rubro-Negros, strong contenders for the title, are clear favorites according to the odds, and their streak in the championship reinforces that status. Fan expectations are high, as Flamengo is not only looking for three points but also to reaffirm its superiority in the tournament.

The team led by Filipe Luiz has been characterized by a devastating attack, capable of generating constant chances from the wings and the center of the field. Added to this is a more balanced defense than in previous seasons, making Flamengo a compact and difficult team to break down. At home, with the massive support of their fans, they tend to be even more dominant.

Flamengo is at the top of the table and hopes to stay there no matter what happens this matchday.

Grêmio, for its part, comes in as the underdog on paper, but with the intention of resisting and taking advantage of any lapse in concentration by its opponent. The Gauchos have had an inconsistent campaign, showing moments of strength but lacking the consistency needed to compete with the big teams.

The visiting team comes off 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 5 games, clearly demonstrating how vulnerable they have been in recent matchdays.

To achieve a positive result in Rio, they will need to play an almost perfect game, especially in defense. Even so, everything points to a victory for the Rio team.
