Santo Andre are playing their last cards. If they can pull a win from this clash it will mean they can keep their hopes alive. They have an above average run at away matches and they will put their hearts out in this clash.
Goias are located in the mid-table and pushing their chances for a possible Copa Sudamericana ticket. They haven’t been showing a good performance lately and I doubt they can level up their motivation like Santo Andre in this match.
Prediction
Santo Andre | X2 Double Chance
Fluminense are in the relegation zone. They are well aware of the importance of this game. Their perfect run in the Copa Sudamericana and in the recent Brazilian Serie A matches give lots of hope to their supporters as this team do not deserve to relegate.
Atletico Paranaense on the other hand is also feeling the relegation pressure but they are in a better situation being located with two points clearance up the relegation zone. A loss in this game will make things a lot complicated for them.
Fluminense with extra motivation given by their need of points will be the decisive factor and I believe they will keep their hopes alive by beating their opponent in the relagation battle.
Prediction
Fluminense | Win
A win for Flamengo in this match will put them in a very comfortable place in the title race. They will climb to second position by reducing the difference to 2 points with the leaders Sao Paolo.
Nautico on the other hand is on the verge of relegation. They have to collect maximum points and wait their opponents to drop points in the remaining matches. Well, hope is hope and they will do their best in this match.
Since Flamengo have the upper quality between these two teams, the situation the both teams are in is the fact that they will give their best and keep figthing till the final whistle. Therefore, goal prediction is wiser here.
Prediction
Goals | Over 2,5
A crucial match between two struggling teams of Brazilian Serie A. Botafogo is on the relegation zone while Barueri Gremio is in a lot safer position plus they have slim chances to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana.
Botafogo have been performing better recently comparing to Barueri Gremio in the league. They are kind of a team that play the potential out when relegation is on the way.
Barueri Gremio have some important missing from the regular team. As mentioned they have a slim chance to enter the Copa Sudamericana quota but this is not a big priority for them from what we got.
Expecting a motivated Botafogo as they are the ones who need point(s) desperately. Goal prediction is hard here but a double chance for Botafogo looks fine.
Prediction
Botafogo | X2 Double Chance
