While the European football season is starting this weekend, the Brasileirão is still running, and at full speed. We just ran through half of the competition, but everything can change in this league, which some people say is the most balanced in the world.
The top and the bottom part of the table are still the same for a few rounds, but the teams fighting for the top four positions, and those trying to avoid relegation are always switching their positions in the standings.
Round 21 will start this saturday with Botafogo hosting Ceará and América Mineiro visiting Juventude at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium.
We will take a look at the main games for this 22nd round and you’ll get to know our picks for these important matches.

Flamengo is alive in three big competitions right now: Copa Libertadores, Copa do Brasil and Brasileirão Série A. That is the reason why they should put a mixed team for this game, which doesn’t mean they will put a weak team on the field.
Flamengo’s mixed team counts Everton Cebolinha, Diego, and Arturo Vidal, a former player of Barcelona and Inter Milan. We expect a very offensive Flamengo, trying to win from the beginning and scoring at least a goal in this match.
Even though São Paulo plays at Morumbi in this game, they are not in a good mood when they play at home. We believe in a 2-0 win for Flamengo.
Brasileirão Serie A Matchday 21 – Atlético Mineiro vs. Athletico Paranaense – Betting Odds & Free Pick – Info
When: Saturday, August 7th, 06:00 pm ET
Moneyline Odds: Atlético Mineiro +560/ Athletico Paranaense -185 (Source: MyBookie.ag)
Draw Offs: +300

The Brasileirão has three clubs called Atlético: Atlético Mineiro, Atlético Goianiense and Athletico Paranaense. Their second names represent the states they are from.
Mineiro (from the state of Minas Gerais) will face Paranaense (from the state of Paraná). They are great teams and those are important states of football in Brazil.
Atlético Mineiro lost his last game against Internacional (3-0), while Athletico Paranaense beat São Paulo by 1-0. It’s very difficult to believe that Atlético Mineiro will play so badly again after that dramatic defeat.
Atlético Mineiro will face a difficult opponent, but we believe in a 2-1 win for them.

Palmeiras will host Goiás for another at the beautiful Allianz Parque, but the result of this game is far to be unknown.
Palmeiras is destroying almost every team in Brazil and South America. They just tied the game against Atlético Mineiro in the last minutes, after losing 2-0.
Goiás is coming from a 1-0 against Coritiba, but it shouldn’t be enough to scare the leaders of the league.
We believe in a comfortable win for Palmeiras: 2-0.
Let’s take a look at the picks for the other games:
- Botafogo 2 x 1 Ceará;
- Juventude 1 x 2 América Mineiro;
- Atlético Goianiense 1 x 2 Red Bull Bragantino;
- Avaí 2 x 1 Corinthians;
- Fluminense 3 x 0 Cuiabá;
- Fortaleza 1 x 1 Internacional;
- Coritiba 3 x 1 Santos
