⚽ Brasileirão 2026 - Brazilian Championship Serie A

[r_victory]

Yeah, another loss for Corinthians, just for a change...

Neymar will be rested for the Copa do Brasil match against Palmeiras, but for now, he’s confirmed to play in Sunday’s (August 30) game against Timão. Honestly, I don't even know what to expect from this matchup; I’d like to place a bet, but I’m not feeling confident.

[Pumared]

What are your predictions for this round and the next?

Let’s go... several interesting games and my bets on the main ones is....
For the 29th, São Paulo should draw with Bragantino in 1x1, because although Bragantino has been more competitive, São Paulo is playing at home and should hold the score very well.

At 30th, Flamengo should certainly beat Botafogo in 2x1, maybe!? Despite Flamengo’s last defeat, they are still the favorite and are also playing at home this time.

As for the teams "Gauchos" (from state of Rio Grande do Sul), I think the Grêmio will beat Chapecoense without any trouble, and Internacional will probably lose to Bahia (obviously that I am not going to bet on the latter, but that is my prediction).

I agree with your predictions and I'll add the Vasco x Cruzeiro game. Cruzeiro should win and the game will have over 1.5 goals. The goals are due to both teams conceding an average of 1 goal per game, and Cruzeiro is in better form – that typical game I always talk about, top versus bottom of the table. It's an easy bet, so far. I hope we can profit!

It's honestly tough to have a firm opinion on this match, but if I had to place a bet, I'd go with Corinthians. After all, Santos has been in a endless slump, and Corinthians usually steps up in derbies... Anyway, it's hard to say which one is looking 'less terrible' in the Brazilian scene right now. Plus, it's a derby, so anything can happen, but like I said, if I had to guess, I'd back Corinthians.

[rdluffy]

Corinthians’ advantage in their next game against Santos is that they’re playing at home, and that’s it 
Because both Santos and Corinthians are going through a rough patch in the Brazilian league

In their last 5 games, both teams have won just 1 match, tied 2, and lost 2
Their performances have been quite poor and unpredictable

It’s a tough game to bet on, I think I'll just watch

Cruzeiro has been doing a great campaign this season. When the championship started, they were quite bad performing on relegation zone, but since Artur Jorge's arrival as coach, they simply skyrocketed to the 5th place so far. And if they maintain efficiency, there are serious chances they get consolidated on 3rd position.

Vasco, on the other hand, displays one of the lowest performances of the championship, and it's not something new. Even though, Brasileirão's outcomes are quite unstable and surprising, I risk saying this match is one of the safest bets available in favour of Cruzeiro.

The last time these two teams faced each other, the game ended in a draw with only 2 goals and 1 red card for the Santos player. Corinthians' home performance isn't excellent, but I don't consider it too poor either. I think it's an average performance, one where they could at least win more at home if the opponent is weak like them.

Corinthians 1 - 2 Cruzeiro

Corinthians 0 - 0 Athletico PR

Corinthians 3 - 0 Remo

Corinthians 1 - 0 Atletico MG

Corinthians 3 - 2 Sao Paulo

Corinthians is seen as the favorite in this game by the bookmakers, who are giving odds of @1.82. Honestly, given their good home record and seeing that Santos isn't a strong team, I intend to place a parlay bet on Corinthians and Palmeiras.


Edit to place my bets for this round:

Corinthians - Santos

This is a game involving two teams that are in bad shape, they are not fighting for the title and will even have difficulties fighting for a place in international competitions. The bookmakers are placing Corinthians as the favorite with odds of @1.82 and I will put Corinthians in my parlay because I believe they have a better probability of winning. But as a safety measure, I opted to choose the Double Chance market, selecting Corinthians or Draw with odds of @1.22.

Mirassol - Palmeiras

This is a game where the league leader will play against an opponent that has only had 1 victory in the last 5 games and is in the relegation zone, but strangely the bookmakers are giving very high odds for Palmeiras, something like @2.05, but even so I bet on Palmeiras and as a safety measure I chose the Double Chance market where I placed Draw or Palmeiras with odds of @1.30.

Flamengo - Botafogo

This is a game where we have on one side a team that is fighting for the title and on the other side a team that is fighting for a place in international competitions, and to think that in the past it was a team that would fight for the title. With Flamengo playing at home and being the favorite according to the bookmakers, I bet on Flamengo, but as a safety measure I chose the Double Chance market where I bet on Flamengo or Draw with odds of @1.12.

Total odds of my parlay: @1.78

[Pumared]

I was taking a closer look at the games for this next round and I found some good opportunities, and I think it's worth taking a chance at this moment.

First, Grêmio winning. Chapecoense hasn't won away from home yet, drawing 3 and losing 8 times. And on average, they concede 1.70 goals, so there's a good chance they'll lose.

Second, Palmeiras has very high odds even though they're in first place. I believe it's their reserve team to see such high odds, but even so, I see it as an opportunity.

And lastly, Cruzeiro beating Vasco. Cruzeiro has scored more goals, Vasco has conceded more goals, specifically in 92% of cases.

[rdluffy]

I said I wasn’t confident about Corinthians’ game against Santos
Good thing I didn’t bet on it 
Sometimes it's better not to bet than to lose, hehe

What a terrible game by Corinthians
In fact, they’ve already had 3 losses, 1 tie, and just 1 win in their last 5 games

The next game in the Brasileirão is against Chapecoense, who are in last place
Sure, the odds won’t be as good, but this is definitely a game where you can count on a Corinthians win, maybe even a parlay

[Pumared]

Of my bets, only Grêmio won, but when I saw the odds, it was to be expected that there would be some surprise, especially the Palmeiras game, which is the leader and had odds of 2. But I thought the risk was worthwhile, even though I ended up losing money. How did your bets go? I saw that Corinthians was better at home but couldn't win at home.

Despite losing my parlay, I had some really funny moments during those games. I kept wondering how it's possible to have such a full stadium even when it's a game between teams not fighting for the title. It's unbelievable how much the people of Brazil love football; it's something I only see in English football, where even small teams fill the stadiums when they play each other. Now, talking about the Corinthians vs. Santos game, I was even confident that Corinthians would win playing at home. I initially bet on a draw or a Corinthians win, but then I canceled my bet and went for a Corinthians win.

But it was a completely different game than I expected. Corinthians created danger a few times, but they seemed to be playing against a strong opponent when they weren't. They were just very weak, while Santos knew how to take advantage of every good opportunity and, to my great surprise, came away with the victory. I confess that in the worst-case scenario I was expecting a draw, not a Santos victory.


Mirassol 1 - 1 Palmeiras

I confess I'm not shocked by this result. Palmeiras has shown signs of fatigue in their last 5 games, only managing a few wins. Then they come up against a seemingly weak opponent, fighting to avoid relegation, and playing at home they manage a draw. This only worsens Palmeiras' situation, as they've only managed 2 wins in their last 5 games. But the funny thing is that even though they're declining, they're still the undisputed leaders in the standings. I wonder what it would be like if they had won all their games. My impression is that the other teams don't seem to care about the title.

I don't know how much you lost, but I hope it wasn't too much
To tell you the truth, I'm a little frustrated with my bets on the Brazilian league
It seems to be harder than usual

The odds on Grêmio beating Chapecoense must have been pretty low because the team is in last place in the league, right?

Corinthians usually draws a large crowd when playing at home, even if they aren't in fight for the title
Corinthians' average home attendance is 36,373 people per game
It is the second club in terms of fan base

It amaze me how loyal Corinthians' supporters are to your team... even during a bad periods (it is already the fifth consecutive game in which they have not win at home), the fans always there supporting them.

I was happy about Santos' win... I've never bet in favor of Corinthians (it is a team that I do not like), and it helped me make up for the loss I had in the "GreNal"... although it did not overcome my sadness at seeing Internacional in the relegation zone.... this year has really been difficult.

Anyway, overall, since the beginning of the championship, I have not been making very good predictions here

The odds on Grêmio beating Chapecoense must have been pretty low because the team is in last place in the league, right?

It was odds of 0.50, which was OK. The bet was more conservative; the others I mentioned I already imagined would be difficult to beat, but given the odds, it was worth taking the risk. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. We still have a long way to go in the championship to recover!

The Palmeiras game was a draw that felt like a victory, for example, where the odds were 2. So, just get two of those right and you're all set! What are the bets for the next games?

[r_victory]

Corinthians’ advantage in their next game against Santos is that they’re playing at home, and that’s it 

Well, my brother, Corinthians recorded its best attendance of 2026, but it doesn't seem to have helped much. They've now gone four games without a win against Santos. The next game is against Chapecoense, who already beat São Paulo, so I'm not going to get my hopes up about the outcome of that match.

In other leagues, like the Portuguese league, stadiums are only crowded when there are games involving Porto, Benfica, and Sporting. The Ligue 1 also has a very similar scenario. But in the Brazilian league, I see people even at games involving two teams that aren't even fighting for a top 10 finish. I'm talking about the Grêmio vs. Chapecoense game where Grêmio won 3-1. I saw the stadium with many people at that game too.


Yesterday there was a Brazilian league game. The game was as follows:

Flamengo 2 - 0 Mirassol

This was a very important victory for Flamengo, who are now only 1 point behind Palmeiras, with both teams having played the same number of games. If Palmeiras loses their next games and Flamengo wins theirs, then Flamengo could take the lead in the Brazilian Championship. But the problem is that when Palmeiras sees Flamengo getting closer, they start playing well, and Flamengo starts playing poorly. Now, speaking of Mirassol, with this defeat they are now on a 5-game winless streak, and if they continue like this, they will soon be in the relegation zone.

For this round, I'm only looking at the Flamengo game to bet on, but the odds don't seem very good enough to be worth the risk.

Remo - Flamengo

This is an away game for Flamengo, their opponent is in 19th place in the table, in the relegation zone. Remo hasn't won in their last 5 games, which on paper makes Flamengo the favorite, with odds of @1.46, but I see that as very low odds, so I'm thinking a lot about whether to bet on this game or not. There are still a few days until the game for me to decide.


Sad news for Neymar fans and for Santos: " Neymar injured "

Santos' Neymar in tears after going off at half-time with another injury

I still don't know how long he'll be injured; he's unlucky when it comes to injuries, a very skilled player but with a physique that isn't helping.

Neymar really hasn't had much luck with his physical condition. It's been injury after injury for years, and at his current age, recovery is so much harder. This time he blamed the pitch at Vila Belmiro, but to be fair, I don't blame him either. Professional football on a completely uneven pitch full of holes is the perfect recipe for picking up injuries.

I still don't know how long he'll be injured; he's unlucky when it comes to injuries, a very skilled player but with a physique that isn't helping.

And in the game against Palmeiras he was playing well, the atmosphere was that it would at least be a draw in terms of aggregate goals. But Santos can't live without Neymar on and off the field, so much so that he recently paid off the club's transfer ban. If it weren't for him, they would easily be in the second division by now. And I have no doubt that this will happen again this year!

What looked a guaranteed championship for Palmeiras doesn't look so guaranteed anymore with Flamengo almost surpassing it on the ranking table. I remember weeks or a month or so ago, hardly ever someone could believe Palmeiras could lose its position to any other team, because they were too ahead on total number of points. The thing is that nothing is assured on this championship, and when something looks too obvious, you must suspect there is something wrong with this, meaning the scenario can turn around 180º suddenly.

Guaranteed? Honestly, I never believed that Palmeiras already had the "title in hands", first because they did not have that much of an advantage (6 points at most, as I remember), and second because we are talking about the main Brazilian football championship, which has always been quite unpredictable.

Anyway, its indisputable that after the World Cup, Flamengo has been having a better campaign than Palmeiras at Brasileirão, and I believe they are capable of overtaking Palmeiras, but.... there is also time to Palmeiras react, anything is possible.... I even believe that Internacional also has a chance of not being relegated/drop down to second division

Currently, Palmeiras has 52 points and Flamengo has 51. Looking at Palmeiras' upcoming games, I see much stronger opponents. For example, Palmeiras will face São Paulo, Grêmio, and Bahia. They might even win against Corinthians, but it's a classic match.

Flamengo, on the other hand, has Remo, a point practically guaranteed that will give them the lead, then Corinthians, Bragantino, and Santos without Neymar. In my view, these are easier games for Flamengo, with a high chance of Palmeiras finishing second in the next few rounds.
