Brasileirão Matchday 31 – Preview and Results

There are only 8 rounds to go until the end of the most balanced football league in the world. The Brasileirão may not be the best league, but it is undoubtedly the most disputed. In Brazil, 6 to 8 teams can compete for the title, while another 6 or more fight not to fall.

In the 2022 season, Palmeiras appeared as the owner of the championship, losing just two matches in 30 games and taking the lead at the start of mid-season, taking out Corinthians. Palmeiras’ coach Abel Ferreira seems to be unstoppable and they should become champions within a few games.

The round will be exciting because there is still a big dispute between several teams to escape the relegation zone, as well as between the teams at the top of the table, who fight for direct classification for the Copa Libertadores.

Let’s learn a little more about the main clashes of round 31, highlighting the teams’ recent momentum and providing a prediction based on accurate analysis.

If it weren’t for the confrontation for the final of the Copa do Brasil, four days after this game against Athletico for the Brasileirão, Corinthians would be the favorite to win the match playing in their domains.

This tight schedule makes the team need to spare some players, thinking about the final stages of other competitions. Corinthians is a finalist for the Copa do Brasil and will face the mighty Flamengo next Wednesday.

Two games within 4 days. Certainly, the coach Vítor Pereira would not risk putting his main team on the field, risking his best players suffering an injury.

Therefore, based on these factors, we believe that Athletico will make it difficult for Corinthians to play its game well. A 1-1 draw is our best pick for this game.

The exciting Fluminense, who once fought for the title, lost the last two matches and distanced itself from the leader Palmeiras. Coach Fernando Diniz’s team seemed to be the only one to take the dispute for the first position until the end, but, once again, Fluminense stumbled in easy games and saw its objective distance.

In third place, and 15 points behind leader Palmeiras, Fluminense will host América Mineiro, at Maracanã, trying to get back on the path of good football, which the team has become so used to showing this year. América Mineiro, in turn, has been one of the best teams in the second round of the championship and continues to try to enter the group of the 6 best teams in the Brasileirão to guarantee a spot in next year’s Copa Libertadores.

This will be a clash between teams that are living different moments, but that has already proven their ability to keep viewers hooked on television, watching their games.

Our guess is for a 2-1 victory for Fluminense.

This can be a match to get an interesting profit in the main bookmakers, as the odds indicate much greater favoritism for São Paulo. The truth is that Botafogo is also having a great time in the competition, having won three of their last five games. The Alvinegro team seems to be finally finding itself under the command of coach Luís Castro and the arrival of striker Tiquinho Soares gave even more reasons for the team to dream of better days.

The favoritism given to São Paulo also makes a lot of sense, as the team has won its last three matches and is five games unbeaten in the Brasileirão. However, in moments like this, the team usually misses good opportunities to maintain the winning streak.

Our guess for this match is a 2-2 draw.

Let’s take a look at the picks for the other games: 

• Cuiabá 2 -1 Flamengo
• Internacional 2-0 Goiás
• Fortaleza 2-0 Avaí
• Atlético Mineiro 2-1 Ceará
• Coritiba 1-1 Red Bull Bragantino
• Atlético Goianiense 1-3 Palmeiras
• Santos 3-0 Juventude
