Re: Brazil 23-24/07/2008 My picks for today:
Internacional-São Paulo
Internacional has an impressive 5-1-0 home record but São Paulo is having a very good season and they're currently in 4th place in the league (3 places and 4 points ahead of Internacional) with a 2-3-1 away record so far.
I expect a tight game and see good value in taking the draw here. My pick: draw (at 3.44);
Botafogo-Atlético MG
Botafogo has a good 4-1-1 home record so far while Atlético has a mediocre 0-3-4 away record but this teams sit close together in the table (both have 15 points so far) and there's not much of a difference between the two.
Botafogo is the slight favorite, playing at home, but I expect a tight game and at 3.91 there's "value" in the draw IMO. My pick: draw (at 3.91);
Sport-Atlético PR
Sport is currently in 15th place trying to get away from the relegation zone and have a not very impressive 3-2-1 home record so far.
Atlético PR is only 1 point above them and have a poor 1-0-5 away record so far this season.
We should see another tight game with both teams being satisfied with taking 1 point each from the game. My pick: draw (at 3.30);
Figueirense-Grémio
Very interesting game this one should be.
Figueirense is having a good season considering they're not a top team in Brazil. They're currently 7th in the table on 19 points and with a 4-2-0 home record.
Grémio is having a very good season. They're currently 2nd in the table on 25 points (only 1 behind leaders Flamengo who are losing some gas lately) but their away record of 2-2-2 is far from impressive.
This should be another tight game and the draw looks good to me. My pick: draw (at 3.25);
Good luck!
