46/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning All four selections combine strong home form with visible defensive and offensive trends. Cruzeiro and Internacional are defensive stalwarts hosting struggling sides, while Bahia’s attacking flair should be too much for leaky Juventude. Sao Paulo vs Fluminense shapes into a cagey stalemate. This accumulator blends stability and upside across Sunday’s fixtures. |
🧤 Cruzeiro vs Ceara
Expert: John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Cruzeiro are setting the pace in the Brazilian top flight and enter this fixture with clear intent to stay on top. Despite a frustrating 0-0 away draw with Corinthians, their form at home has been nothing short of exceptional—unbeaten at Mineirao, with three clean sheets in their last three home games. Leonardo Jardim’s side boast one of the most solid defensive records in the division, having conceded just three goals in all their home league fixtures this year.
Ceara, meanwhile, continue to struggle to adapt in their return to the top flight. Their recent 2-0 home loss to Mirassol was another chapter in a poor run of form that’s seen them lose five of their last six matches. Their scoring drought has been particularly concerning—they’ve failed to find the net in three consecutive league games and have managed just one goal across their last four away matches.
Even with changes to the line-up, Cruzeiro’s quality from back to front should shine through. With Cassio between the sticks—currently among the league leaders in clean sheets—the hosts look well set to secure another win without conceding.
Best bet – Cruzeiro to win to nil

🤝 Sao Paulo vs Fluminense
Expert: Gram Dodd; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
This is a game where both teams arrive with very different recent emotions, but equally pressing needs. Sao Paulo are enjoying a mini-resurgence with back-to-back league victories. Luciano has emerged as their go-to man, scoring and assisting in each of their last three fixtures, and Crespo’s men are starting to find a rhythm.
However, Fluminense, while currently on a losing run, have not been dramatically poor. They have lost narrowly to each of the top three sides in the division, including a valiant effort at Palmeiras, where they found the net and pushed late. While they’ve been leaking goals, they’ve also remained competitive.
Sao Paulo have a decent home record but have been held to draws three times at MorumBIS already this season. Their injury list continues to grow, which could disrupt consistency. Fluminense’s own struggles on the road suggest they’ll settle for a draw here—and have enough quality through players like German Cano and Arias to make life difficult.
With both teams needing points but neither likely to open up too much, the draw represents excellent value.
Best bet – Draw
⚽ Bahia vs Juventude
Expert: Steve Harrington; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Bahia are a force at Arena Fonte Nova. Despite their recent Copa Sudamericana exit, Rogerio Ceni’s side have not lost at home in the league this season. They sit comfortably in the top six, thanks in large part to their vibrant attack and consistent form on home turf. What stands out is their ability to break teams down, particularly sides in the lower part of the table.
Juventude are falling fast. A 1-0 defeat to Sao Paulo last time out marked their seventh loss in nine, and they’ve now conceded a division-high 29 goals this campaign. Their defensive frailties are evident—especially away from home. However, they have shown glimpses of offensive promise, often netting despite results going against them.
Bahia will likely dominate territory and possession, but Juventude can still cause issues, particularly with set-pieces and late runs. That makes this selection a strong combination of form and trend, with Bahia expected to outscore their visitors, but unlikely to keep them quiet for the full 90 minutes.
Best bet – Bahia to win and both teams to score
🛡️ Internacional vs Vasco da Gama
Expert: Tyler Morris; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Internacional have found a timely surge in form. Roger Machado’s men have now won three league matches in a row, climbing safely into mid-table and pulling away from relegation fears. Their home form is especially noteworthy: four of their five victories this campaign have come at Estadio Jose Pinheiro Borda, including two straight clean sheets.
Vasco, in contrast, are floundering near the drop zone. They’ve lost five of their six away matches, and their only bright spot—a win over Sao Paulo—looks like an outlier. Their current run across all competitions reads worryingly: no wins in their last four, with goals hard to come by and confidence visibly lacking.
Vasco are also dealing with several injuries and suspensions, including the absence of key creative players like Coutinho and Adson. Internacional, on the other hand, may be missing bodies, but they’ve adapted well—especially defensively. Expect a composed, professional display at home with another clean sheet in tow.
Best bet – Internacional to win to nil
