Campeonato Brasileiro

lets get some discussion going on this array of games - only dortmund have let me down to day and have decided to gor for a few of these.....

Vitoria and Internacional shoot to mind as early thoughts


24 Jul-20:00 Coritiba v Botafogo RJ 1.61 3.25 5.00
24 Jul-20:00 Criciuma v Atletico PR 2.00 3.20 3.20
24 Jul-20:00 Fluminense v Corinthians 1.72 3.40 4.00
24 Jul-20:00 Internacional RS v Juventude 1.61 3.25 5.00
24 Jul-20:00 Sao Paulo v Vasco da Gama 1.72 3.40 4.00
24 Jul-21:00 Vitoria v Guarani 1.53 3.40 5.50
24 Jul-22:00 Cruzeiro v Sao Caetano 1.72 3.40 4.00
24 Jul-22:00 Flamengo v Atletico MG 1.83 3.40 3.50
25 Jul-00:30 Goias v Santos 2.10 3.20 3.00
25 Jul-00:30 Palmeiras v Figueirense 1.72 3.40 4.00
25 Jul-00:30 Parana v Paysandu 1.83 3.40 3.50
25 Jul-00:30 Ponte Preta v Gremio 1.72 3.40 4.00

Cruzeiro V São Caetano

Looks like Cruzeiro spy the top three places in the table tonight, 30pts would get them back where they belong after indifferent form, a strong side with good home record playing a decent Caetano side who are sadly going through a rather poor stage with results, this is unlikely to be easy win but @1.72 as aprt of 4fold i will take....Home win @1.72

Cruzeiro
Artur; Marco Aurélio, Bruno Quadros, Marcelo Batatais e Leandro; Augusto Recife, Maldonado, Lima e Adriano; Tapia e Jussiê. Técnico: Émerson Leão
São
Silvio Luiz; Marco Aurélio, Serginho e Thiago; Anderson Lima, Marcelo Mattos, Mineiro, Mateus e Triguinho; Marcinho e Fabrício Carvalho. Técnico: Candinho

Home
6. (10)Cruzeiro 8 6 1 1 14 - 10, 19
away
8. (13)Sao_Caetano 9 2 3 4 7 - 9, 9

I agree with Cruzeiro Galea for the reasons you've said. I've taken them in a double with Ponte Preta, whose mistakes at home have come against better teams than Gremio.8o

FT 0-1 :rolleyes

an unlikely score but this is football, Cruzeiro missing a couple of players but nobody that important.

Ponte look good also i agree - sorry about your double nezfan.

FT 1-0 too little too late though..

Palmeiras

FT 0-0

and Parana stand good chances but not more bets for me till tomorrow...

FT 2-0

took a late 4fold with Parana, MetroStars, Dallas & Kansas

Kansas threw yet another 2 goal lead away conceeding the second on 90'

Today see Denmark, Norway & Sweden come to life..

Any thoughts on any of these games...Botafogo takes my interest @2.55 - score plenty of goals, playing pretty well recently - Flamengo are still struggling, add these odds I have taken the plunge along with Figueirense.

Botagogo @2.55 Home win
Figueirense @1.75 Home win

I have bolded my best guess but am looking for any pearls from our experts.

From my main picks 3 came in but Botafogo could only manage a draw so bets out the window aside from small single on Figueirense, wish i had the single on Sao Paulo instead though...

A very good end to Brasil, together with Sweden and Finland thats 1000pt payout from about 70pts stake - thanks to everyone who gave their opinions!



only taken 20mins looking at these games but thats my first view, few impotant players back following Copa America too.

any opinions?

[gurdjieff]

Rafalek has gone for Figueirense and has a fairly convincing argument on betbastards site im on that .Palmieras ive seen tipped in a couple of places with the home side Gaurani having apparently had some crisis releasing their coach and 8 players 6/5 seems worth a dabble on the back of that.It`ll keep me amused whilst burning the midnight oil. Good luck tonight folks.

Galea,

I wish I'd seen your post before, so this post coulda been a bit more in-depth. :o

Gotta go out now but my picks for tonight are:

Atletico PR v Ponte Preta (x) 3.40 @ olympic.
Botafogo RJ v Flamengo (x) 3.25 @ ladbrokes
Corinthians v Cruzeiro (2) 3.10 @ stanley
Gremio v Vitoria (x) 3.30 @ b365
Paysandu v Criciuma (1) 1.90 @ betandwin
Figueirense v Fluminense (x) 3.40 @ b365
Guarani v Palmeiras (2) 2.20 @ b365
Juventude v Sao Paulo (x) 3.30 @ expekt

On a learning curve for Brazil just now, so very low stakes on all.

GL.

Botafogo RJ v Flamengo

Kick off 12.30

Flamengo players threatend to strike over wages not being paid and in the end climbed down although they did not get payed.Then the club went and bought a new striker and the players are thinking cheeky munts ! Can buy a player but pay the wage bill !
Flamengo missing quite a few players aswell.

2.52 For a bota win is great value IMO.

Figueirense v Fluminense RJ

Flu missing like 4 players and don't travel well anyways

1.80 for the home win worth a dabble here.

1.45 am kick off in this

Good luck




Good luck

Unlucky with the one's so far, Botafogo drawing. Here's hope for a Figuirenese turn around (for me!!) , (draw wud do for ya!) We're both hoping for a Palmeiras win though! Come on!! Need this dollar!

well it was looking good with the figuirense draw but they pulled it out of the bag for me! I was with ya on the palmeiras win which also lost and Juventude vs Sao Paolo ended up with a turn around and a 2-1 win for SP. I'm watching them from last week on channel 4 now and they look very poor. Surely we can get a Santos win tomorrow for some money bak! cheers then

The final game that makes up treble is the first on the list Ath PR, they show amzing home form and have won me much money over recent weeks, this against tougher oposition than Gremio who ared random to say the least Home win @1.60 (i believe better odds are out there)

Below is my usual initial opinions onother fixtures...I have to admit very few seem clear winners hence just one bet as part of treble for me, although i may try a pseculative 5fold later on. news and opinions as uaual please....

[gurdjieff]

I agree with the Atletico Paranaense. This league seems to love it"s home wins and i collected a nice four fold of Brasilian homes" in the week.
As well as PR I am going to go with Goias,Santos and Juventude to win their respect home games. Good luck.

moderators,

can we move this thread up a bit - at least until Monday as i hope to get a few more opinions on these games that are being played over next two nights, should really have started new thread for new round! - cheers

Thanks for input gurdjieff, there were some great picks last round sadly the Botafogo one let the my first bet down but 15/16 correct selections sinse and the last four of those was 4 home wins in this league!

The best odds i have found for Ath PR is 1.67 so far - any better odds around?

[gurdjieff]

Things looking bleak on the PR front with 5 mins to go still 0-0. Tinkering with A flum win over Cruz who are still rebuilding after a lot of personnel changes.Anyway it bumps the thread up.

With the attack Ath PR have and the poor Gremio defense i am most disappointed - poor night but after recent good results i can not complain too much

Ath PR's run was very impressive and i felt it was due to end but not this week considering opposition, i think i may consider Ath PR to lose next couple...

good luck with flumenense bet

[gurdjieff]

Oh well a brace of bore draws,Such is loife.Still cant have the ups without the downs.Tomorrows another day.omg it is tomorrow!! :sleeping

Vitoria last minute goal against destroys otherwise profitable night...next round...

[gurdjieff]

Dunno if anyone else has any news or picks but Palmeiras vs Goias may be worth the home win with goias missing main striker Alex Diaz and the fact that Goias are shoite anyway.
Fig should do Guarani and Santos and may be too much for Gremio .That what im going with anyway. Good luck

I missed out on last nights - a few rare results by the look of things...

tonight i fancy Botafogo to beat Juventude who are not doing so well at the moment @2.00 Home win

also Cruzeiro should have the beating of Internacional who are improving away but still weak. @1.72 Home win

goodluck all

1-0 Cruzeiro!!
