Brasileirão Matchday 32 Betting Favorites

The Brasileirão is reaching its defining stage, so every victory from now on becomes gold for all teams.

Botafogo remains at the top of the standings with 64 points. However, Palmeiras and Fortaleza are still very close, with 61 and 60, respectively, at the top of the standings. That, undoubtedly, makes this season’s closure extremely interesting and, above all, with a lot of emotions.

The other side of the coin has Paranaense, Juventude, Cuiabá, and Atlético Goianiense fighting to stay in Serie A, but the latter already has its arms down in that fight.

Below, we bring you a preview of the best matches we can enjoy in this new round of the Brasileirao, with their respective betting odds and our free predictions.

Brasileirão Matchday 32: Corinthians vs. Palmeiras

We have a battle between two teams in contrasting positions in the standings. Currently, Corinthians is in 15th place in the table, struggling to stay out of the relegation zone with eight wins, 11 draws, and 12 losses, with 35 goals scored and 40 conceded.

However, we must be clear that the current level of Corinthians is really good, considering that they come from three wins, one draw, and one loss in the last five matches played. In addition, they come to this matchday after two consecutive victories, the most recent being against Cuiabá, away, with a score of 1-0.

On the other hand, Palmeiras continues to fight for first place in the standings with Botafogo and is currently in second place, with an excellent record of 18 wins, seven draws, and six defeats. The Verdão has an impressive 53 goals scored and 25 conceded, being the best in both departments.

However, they are three points behind Botafogo, so they need to play well, win everything, and hope that the leaders slip up on more than one occasion at the end of the season. Palmeiras comes from drawing their most recent match against Fortaleza, with a score of 2-2.

For this match, our prediction is a win for Palmeiras.

Corinthians vs. Palmeiras Betting Pick: Palmeiras

Brasileirão Matchday 32: Botafogo vs. Vasco da Gama

Botafogo remains at the top of the standings in a dream season for them. They have a magnificent record of 19 wins, seven draws, and five losses, with 49 goals scored and 26 conceded. This team has managed to maintain consistency throughout the year, which makes them justly deserving of that top spot in the table.

O Fogo comes into matchday 32 with three wins and two draws in their last five games, the most recent being a 1-0 win over Bragantino. Although they lost in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores semifinals 1-3 to Peñarol, they qualified for the Grand Final thanks to a 6-3 aggregate score.

On the other hand, Vasco da Gama has been struggling for consistency, and for now, they have delivered by staying in the middle of the standings. At the moment, Vasco is in ninth place in the table, with a record of 12 wins, 7 draws, and 12 losses, with 36 goals scored and 43 conceded. The Cruzmaltino needs its defense to be more solid, especially against such an offensive opponent as Botafogo.

Vasco da Gama is coming off back-to-back wins, the most recent being against Bahia, with a 3-2 score.

For this match, our winner’s chip is on Botafogo.

Brasileirão Matchday 32: Cruzeiro vs. Flamengo

Cruzeiro has managed to stay in the upper-middle zone of the overall Brasileirão standings despite having a somewhat worrisome performance in recent weeks. Right now, it sits in eighth place in the table, with a record of 12 wins, eight draws, and 11 losses, with 36 goals scored and 33 conceded.

The Raposa, as we mentioned, has been having a lot of performance problems in the last few weeks, as they come to this matchday 32 after three draws and two defeats in the previous five games. In addition, they come from losing their most recent match against Paranaense, with a terrible score of 0-3. However, they qualified for the Grand Final of the Copa Sudamericana, after beating Lanús in the semifinals, with a 2-1 aggregate score.

On the other hand, Flamengo has been going from strength to strength throughout the season and, right now, they are struggling at the top of the standings. Currently, Flamengo is fourth in the table, with a record of 16 wins, 7 draws, and 8 defeats, with 50 goals scored and 37 conceded. The team is only five points behind Fortaleza and has a game in hand, so, in theory, if they win that extra game, they would be only two points behind third place.

Likewise, Flamengo needs more consistency at the end of the season to have a chance of finishing third in the standings. The Mengão come into this matchday after an excellent victory in their most recent match against Atlético Mineiro by 3-1.

We expect an even match on matchday 32, so our prediction is a 1-1 draw.

Cruzeiro vs. Flamengo Betting Pick: Draw.

Brasileirão Matchday 32: Internacional vs. Criciúma

Internacional has been one of the teams that surprised many in this 2024 Brasileirão season. They currently sit in fifth place in the standings, with a record of 14 wins, 11 draws, and six losses, with 42 goals scored and 28 conceded. As we can see, the team has had a great defense so far, and we are sure they will fight until the end to try to finish fourth and get a place in the next Copa Libertadores de América.

In their most recent match, Internacional drew against Flamengo 1-1.

On the other hand, Criciúma is fighting tooth and nail to stay out of the relegation zone, and this match is fundamental to achieving it. They are currently 14th in the standings, with a record of nine wins, ten draws, and 12 defeats, with 38 goals scored and 44 conceded.

The Tiger is only three points above Paranaense in the relegation zone, so every point from now on is fundamental for them in their attempt to stay in the Serie A. The team is coming from drawing two games in a row, the most recent being against São Paulo, with a score of 1-1.

For this match, our prediction is a win for Internacional.
