Another week of the best soccer league in the American continent, the Brasileirão Serie A, has come to an end, where even though there is still a long season to go, the teams are already reaching the top of their competitive level and, from now on, we will be enjoying the best quality soccer matches in South America.
After finishing this matchday 11, we have Palmeiras continuing with their impressive and devastating rhythm and, as of today, they are the favorite team to win this season’s championship title. They have an impressive record of 17 consecutive matches without defeat.
Corinthians also continues its excellent level of play, with a victory this matchday that allows them to remain in second place in the standings. São Paulo returned to winning ways and climbed to third place. Atlético Mineiro, meanwhile, continues to lose points and is now in sixth place in the table.
While at the bottom of the table, there have been no changes, the teams in the ditch have not been able to find the ideal formula to lead them to victory.

In a match where Atlético Mineiro was not allowed to lose points, they have once again left much to be desired after a 1-1 draw against a team like Santos that is not in its best moment of the season.
Ratifying their status as favorites in this match and, taking advantage of the fact that they were playing at home with the support of their fans, Atlético Mineiro started the match with everything and, in the 6th minute itself, they managed to score the first goal of the match through Sávio Moreira de Oliveria. From then on, Atlético Mineiro turned against Santos and, although they had control of the ball and the match, they were unable to score more goals.
After a first half of holding the local offenses, the visitors came out to play a more aggressive game in the second half, but, such the aggressiveness that in the 60th minute, Lucas Pire was sent off with a straight red card. It looked like it was going to be hell for Santos, but they managed to hold on to the scoreboard and, in the 84th minute, they managed to score for a 1-1 draw.
Result: Atlético Mineiro (1) – (1) Santos

After a terrible defeat in their previous match, Corinthians managed to get back to winning ways and continue to be on the lookout for the first place in the standings, which now belongs to Palmeiras.
They managed to take advantage of the terrible moment that Juventude is going through at this moment of the season and, they dealt a strong blow to a team that looks like it will not be able to get out of the relegation zone for many rounds.
As Corinthians has become accustomed to when playing at home, they started the match at full speed, with a great goal scored by Adson in the 2nd minute. From then on, they grew much more in the match, and, taking advantage of the low level of play that Juventude has shown this season, they managed to take control of the match.
Although they deserved to score on more than one occasion, it was not until the 84th minute that Gustavo Mantuan sealed the match with a goal, pushing the ball into the back of the net after a spectacular play by Du Quiroz.
With this victory, Corinthians remains in second place in the table, only 1 point behind Palmeiras.
Result: Corinthians (2) – (0) Juventude

Fulfilling the expectations in terms of the betting odds recommended by us, São Paulo managed to get back to winning ways at this crucial moment of the season and managed to get into the TOP 3 of the ranking table, only 3 points behind Corinthians and 4 points behind Palmeiras.
The match was high voltage, both teams attacked the opponent’s goal in different opportunities, so that, at one point of the match, the team that scored the first goal was deserved. But it was the locals who, through an excellent cross from the right, were taken advantage of by Patrick Bezerra to score the only goal of the match with his head.
From this point on, the match became a back-and-forth affair that was not decisive for both teams, as neither managed to score goals.
With this victory, São Paulo is in the fight for the Brasileirão Serie A championship, while América-MG lost for the second time in a row and dropped to 9th place.
Result: São Paulo (1) – (0) América-MG

One of the most evenly matched games we could enjoy this weekend did not disappoint and, like another of the games we analyzed on our website, we guessed that the final result of this match between RB Bragantino and Cuiabá would end in a draw.
While it is true that Cuiabá has not had a good season, the excellent victory achieved the last matchday against Corinthians gave them the boost and the necessary confidence to face an RB Bragantino that has not had a good season either.
The actions were very even, with the visitors having possession of the ball throughout the match, but with the locals being more effective at generating danger in the opponent’s area. Regardless, RB Bragantino took the lead in the 17th minute thanks to a goal by Artur Victor Guimaraes. Before the end of the first half, specifically at minute 45+6, Cuiabá managed to tie the match through a penalty shot by André Felipe Ribeiro de Souza.
Result: Cuiabá (1) – (1) RB Bragantino
