The emotions of the 2023 Brasileirão season continue, and we reach the 21st matchday, which will be full of great games.
We will have many interesting games this weekend, but we have to highlight that there is a very nice fight in the upper part of the standings. First of all, we must point out that Botafogo continues to add points day after day, and currently, they are 11 points ahead of Palmeiras in second place.
However, from second to fourth place, there is only 3 points difference, and then we have a pitched battle between seven teams for positions 5 and 6 in the standings. As a result, after the end of this 21st matchday of the Brasileirao, we are likely to have significant changes in the overall standings.

Why Bet on Flamengo?
The home team comes into this match with the firm conviction of taking the three points that will allow them to stay on the winning track and, consequently, to keep up with Palmeiras in second place in the table.
Flamengo currently occupies third place in the standings with a record of 10 wins, 5 draws, and 5 defeats. However, in the last 5 games, the team has had some difficulties obtaining favorable results, accumulating two wins, two draws, and one loss.
Similarly, the Flas’s last match was an excellent away win against Coritiba by 3-2. In this game, Gabriel Barbosa (’19), Giorgian de Arrascaeta (’31), and Gerson Santos da Silva (’90+4) led the team to victory.
Why Bet on Internacional?
On the other hand, we have Internacional, a team that had a very good start to this Brasileirão season, but as the weeks went by, the team’s performance went into free fall.
As a result, the Colorado is currently ranked #14 in the overall standings, and, in addition, they arrive at this matchday after 8 consecutive games without a win. Therein lies the team’s problem, as they cannot maintain the results or turn them around.
Although Internacional’s last match in the Brasileirão was a 0-1 defeat against Fortaleza, the team has just beaten Bolivar (Bolivia) in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores de América, 1-0.
