Topic: Brasileirão 2024 - Brazilian Championship Serie A - page 25. (Read 9690 times)

I'm curious to know if any bettor have managed to place a bet on Fortaleza winning the Brazilian championship hahaha, it's very hard to imagine even for the fans
But I'm happy that a team outside the big ones from Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul managed to reach the top
And my current support is for Fortaleza anyway, no more Palmeiras and Flamengo hahaha, they've won enough in the recent past

I've been thinking about Corinthians' possible relegation, and the conclusion I've come to is that if they are relegated, at least next season I can place all my bets on Corinthians and make a good profit 

I was reading about altitude, and according to a sports doctor named Guillermo Aponte, there are problems when a player accustomed to altitude has to play at low altitudes, that is, the problem happens to both teams, whether the one that plays at altitude comes to play at low altitude or vice versa...

The Brasileirão is very balanced, it is a big surprise that Fortaleza is doing so well, they have won all of their last 5 matches and still have one game less than some of the direct competitors for the title and they were also the team that lost the fewest among the current top 5.

This Hernando Siles Stadium has a bad history with Brazilian players and players from other countries. In 2007, FIFA had already banned games from being held in stadiums that were above 2,500 meters, because according to FIFA it was harmful to the health of the players and gave an advantage to the stadium owners, but the decision was revoked in 2008.

It was Brazil that submitted the complaint to FIFA asking FIFA to ban games from being held in stadiums above 2,500 meters in altitude, and at the time, Flamengo threatened to boycott games in stadiums at this altitude because there were cases of Flamengo players having to breathe using bottled oxygen. In 2017, Brazil once again had players breathing bottled oxygen because they played in this stadium in La Paz.

Fortunately, Flamengo won the game against Bragantino.




I was shocked by the number of goals that Palmeiras scored in that game. Let's see if Palmeiras will also be able to score many goals in the next game. Because I believe that they will win the game against Paranaense PR. It's strange that the odds are balanced:

Paranaense PR = @2.85 odd

Palmeiras SP = @2.46 odd


They drew and lost a good chance to stay away from the other teams. Now Fortaleza is in the lead



Next game:

Botafogo - Fortaleza

This will be a great game that will show which of these two teams is stronger

Palmeiras destroyed Cuiabá in an incredible 5-0 rout, in a game that seemed to be very easy and with ample ball control (58% against 42% of the opponent). This shows that even though the team is in a possible bad phase, it is still Palmeiras, one of the best teams in Brazil at the moment, so at any moment the team can start a good phase full of victories.

Flamengo beat Red Bull well in the return of player Michael, who was in Jorge Jesus' team. He made a good debut, scoring goal.

Botafogo always has a hard time playing against Bahia for some reason I don't understand. I hope tomorrow Botafogo wins, accumulating +3 points to maintain its top position.

I also think Palmeiras will win this one. They have nothing else to worry about, since they are already eliminated from Libertadores and Copa do Brasil, so it's a must for Palmeiras to totally focus on Brasileirão right now.

Fortaleza is the most solid team of the competition at present moment. They have a nice streak of winnings on the last 4 matches, so technically the chances are on their side.

Flamengo's morale is low since the 4x1 loss against Botafogo. The fans are mad on the coach and ask for changes. This chaotic climate can prejudice the club on the following match against Bragantino, but it's still a strong team. That is undeniable, so they can't be underestimated.

Palmeiras, the most successful team in the Brazilian Serie A league in recent years, has fallen apart in the last 1 month. Elimination in the cup against Flamengo and elimination in the last 16 of the Libertadores against Botafogo left the team in a serious hole. Cuiaba, who have been improving in the league, have seen a clear decline. Because in the last 11 matches they have only taken 3 points once. I think that this troubled performance is also linked to the fact that they are playing in the Sudamerica Cup this season. They have found it very difficult to manage both sides together. Palmeiras are the favorites for this match as I think that Palmeiras, who were in chaos, will now focus completely on the league and go on a run. They will start with this match.

I don't know if Flamengo will do well against Red Bull Bragantino. The match against Bolivar at high altitude in La Paz was a totally traumatic event... the players got sick, the cook had health problems and needed surgery... even coach Tite almost had a heart attack and is currently in the hospital. It was a totally bizarre situation for Flamengo to go through Bolivia.

Tomorrow we will have the league games and I see that teams like Palmeiras and Flamengo need to win their games to keep Botafogo and Fortaleza from falling further behind in the table. Luck may even be on Flamengo and Palmeiras' side because they will be playing against weak opponents. But we can't trust these two teams too much, because this season they have played against very weak teams and failed to win. Also, both teams have had average performances in their last games. It may not be a surprise if they lose their next game.

My predictions for the next games:

Bahia - Botafogo

Botafogo has played 3 games against strong teams and has not lost. Although Bahia has won 2 consecutive games and the bookmakers are looking at Bahia, I still see Botafogo getting a win in this game.

Palmeiras - Cuiaba

If Palmeiras plays well like they did in the last few minutes against Botafogo, then Palmeiras could come away with a win. But if Palmeiras doesn't play well, then they could come away with a draw. My prediction is that Palmeiras will win.

Fortaleza - Corinthians

Fortaleza has had good results in the last few games and I see them getting another win in this game.

Flamengo - Red Bull Bragantino

Flamengo hasn't won in the last 3 league games and to make matters worse, they lost yesterday's game, which was a Libertadores game but they advanced to another phase. but even so they need to beat Bragantino, that's why my guess is that Flamengo will draw

Fortaleza really made big surprise this season, they who previously finished the competition in the top 10 can now achieve many wins and temporarily occupy second place with difference of 4 points from Palmeiras who are in third place.
Fortaleza also still has one postponed match to be able to add to their advantage in the future if it can be used to win, in the future they will also only face Corinthians who are one of the lower team.
Victory will clearly be obtained in this match and it could be that the victory will take them beyond Botafogo for while.
Fortaleza will also meet Botafogo for the 25th week later, this will be great match because whoever wins will definitely be at the top of the standings with fairly guaranteed difference for while.

It was a free heart test-style victory, testing the hearts of Botafogo fans to the limit, a really tough win against a strong opponent, which helps the team to have more enthusiasm for the rest of the season. As for Flamengo, I imagined they would be eliminated yesterday, there is usually a lot of suffering when playing at the altitude of Bolivia, but thank goodness we have goalkeeper Rossi... he saved the night.

The scenario looks favourable for Fortaleza on their next match against Corinthians, so it's likely they will receive another +3 points, going to 48 points. Then Botafogo will play against Bahia, and despite the result of that following match, it will be interesting to watch the game between Botafogo and Fortaleza, which is coming on the sequence. This game means a lot for both sides since they are fighting for the first position, because it's the opportunity for the winner to have some advantage over the other.

Botafogo versus Palmeiras for the Libertadores da América yesterday was a stressful match for both clubs. Botafogo once more displayed a hard time to maintain their performance under pressure of the rival team on the final minutes of the game, resulting in 3 instant goals, although 1 was annulled. Victory for Botafogo in the end, but it wasn't a sweet winning like the one against Flamengo, because the team is repeating similar mistakes compared to last year.

Me too, I would never have imagined that it would be a 4-1 loss. The Botafogo fans I know are as if they had won a championship. I've heard a lot of jokes and received a lot of messages, lol. What can you do? One day the hunter and the next, I bothered them for many years with the story of a small team and a second division team.

Corinthians seemed like they were going to make a comeback, but apparently they disappointed again. Well, always bet against Corinthians, you can make a good amount of money, lol.

I was very surprised by the latest results, especially Flamengo's 4x1 loss to Botafogo
I really liked the result 

Botafogo are now in the lead with 1 point more than Fortaleza, but Fortaleza have one game less, and this calendar has become very bad and confusing

Meanwhile, Corinthians disappointed me once again
In the last 5 games the team has drawn 4 and lost 1

It's a good thing I didn't bet on any of the games in this round, as I was busy studying the Portuguese championship to start my bets there hehehe

In fact, these remaining Internacional matches could make the championship completely unpredictable, after all there are a lot of points at stake and this could completely change the championship, they will play against 3 teams from the top 10. Flamengo was destroyed by the Botafogo team and Fluminense came back to its normal state, with a draw and now with a defeat. It's friends, this championship is going to be exciting in the final stretch

And Fortaleza finally took the lead in the championship



Against the odds, there are 2 different teams in the top 10, and in addition to fortaleza, Bahia has won one more and is already in 6th place (but with 23 games)

One bad thing about the Brazilian championship is that the number of games is different, while Inter have only played 18 times, others have played 23, giving a difference of 5 games=15 points in total
So it's going to be very difficult to get a real idea of some of the positions in the league

Yes, I agree with your statement. The world of football is constantly changing and evolving. While Brazil may not currently be at their peak, they have a rich history of incredible football moments and I believe they will have another fantastic era in the future. Spain has indeed been dominant in recent decades, but football is a cyclical sport and things can change quickly. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for Brazilian football.

Between Copa America and Brasileirão, I'm more entertained by the brazilian championship. I remember watching the final between Argentina versus Colombia in Copa America and how boring that match was to watch. On the other hand, Brasileirão's matches have much more action, although a large percentage of the shootings are missed by the players. It's still exciting to watch, though.

Hardly ever I've followed a competition in the same intensity I'm hyped right now about Brasileirão. I'm happy to see Botafogo playing, and in special Luiz Henrique's performance, who is the best player of the championship at the current moment. There isn't a favorite team to win, nothing is decided, but to have your club among the top ones makes the competition more interesting.

Anyway, that is a very personal point of view. If my club wasn't playing well, probably I wouldn't be hyped about it. And that might also be the reason why other enthusiasts aren't excited about the championship this year.

The only thing that is constant is change, So don't expect things to continue forever, The Brazilian side in the past have had their incredible football moment in history and leaving football to other side of league and country to equally enjoy theirs, where the Spainsh side in this
present decade has become the dominanting side in football, however, even as the Brazilian side of football are not in their very best form which the world used to know them of, this is simply because of the set of players that Brazil got at the moment, so I still believe that there will be a time in the future where they will have another fantastic football moment.

Rogerio Ceni is a good coach. He was a Brazilian champion with Flamengo. What he lacks is more experience, especially in team management. I agree with you that a team like Fortaleza should be champion. This would bring more visibility to the north and northeast regions of Brazil in terms of football. After all, until now, there has not been a team from that region that has had a leading role in the national championship.

It would be great to see Fortaleza as national champions
And as I said, it's time for other teams to win the championship, Flamengo and Palmeiras have won many titles recently

I remember that when Rogerio Ceni was in charge of Fortaleza, the team evolved a lot, and managed to maintain its level for some time and is now doing very well in the league
It's worth remembering that they were runners-up in the Sudamericana Cup

And Rogério Ceni's current team Bahia is also doing well, in 7th place in the Brazilian championship, and beat Botafogo in the Copa do Brasil, qualifying for the quarter-finals
