Season after season, we’ve been watching how the Brazilian soccer dominates, and we’re seeing that in the supremacy that they have in South America, where they’re destroying rivals and the finals are played mostly between Brazilian teams.
Right now, the Brasileirão Serie A is getting started, and we still cannot be sure which team has the best chance of winning the championship, but we can point out the excellent start to the season that teams are having that in principle were not called to be at the top of the standings.
For now, the table is led by Corinthians, one of the greatest teams in Brazilian soccer. Followed by RB Bragantino and one of the candidates to take the champion trophy this season, Atlético Mineiro, only 1 point apart, then we have up to 6 teams with 7 points that, on this day, can easily be among the best 3 of the tournament.

We have reached week 5 of the Brazilian Soccer Championship, the Brasileirão Serie A, and we will have several exciting matches that, without a doubt, will help each of the teams to climb different positions in the standings. We start this Power Rankings with the match between Cuiabá and Santos, which will be this Sunday, May 08, 2022, at the Urbano Caldeira Stadium, home of Santos.
Santos began this 2022 season of the Brasileirão Serie A with all its might with a tie on the first day and followed it with two consecutive victories, but in their last game, they ran into a wall like São Paulo that left them without many options and ended up taking the victory with a score of 2-1. After this defeat, Santos fell to sixth place in the table and currently has 7 points.
On the other hand, Cuiabá has had the same start to the season as Santos, they have a record of 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, but with the difference that they have only managed to score 3 goals in the 4 games they have played, something that they must correct if they want to be at the top of the standings.

We close this Power Rankings with one of the most uneven matches on this day 5 of the Brasileirão Serie A. Flamengo will host Botafogo this Sunday, May 08, 2022, in what will be one of the oldest classics of Brazilian soccer.
Flamengo has not started the season as they would have liked, their initial plans have been truncated by a deficit of their players when attacking since they have not been able to achieve the formula that leads them to score goals in matches. This is shown by their current record of 1 win, 2 draws, and 1 loss.
Botafogo is in the same situation as Flamengo, but, with the difference that after starting the season losing their first game, they managed to add 5 of 9 points in their other 3, something positive for them since they do not add defeats on your record.
Flamengo is ranked #12 and Botafogo is #13 with 5 points, so the team that achieves victory could even climb to second place in the standings.
Flamengo vs. Botafogo Betting Pick: Flamengo
