Market: Over 1.5 goals
Odds: 4/11 @ 888sport
Two sides who will be looking to pick up an early advantage in midweek, Gremio will host Flamengo in the early hours of Thursday morning when both sides turn their attention back to Copa do Brasil duties.
Starting with the hosts, while Gremio might still find themselves battling it out at the foot of the Serie A table, they are enjoying what has been a recent purple patch. In their 16 top-tier matchups so far this season, they have recorded four wins, four draws and eight defeats, scoring 12 and conceding 17 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 16, they currently sit down in 17th and a single point adrift of finding a route out of the relegation zone. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-0 win against Bahia on home soil, Gremio have won four of their last five matchups across all formats. It should also be noted, along with winning each of their last three straight home fixtures, Thursday’s hosts have seen four of their last five home matchups finish with over 1.5 goals by the final whistle.
As for the visitors, while Flamengo might have been disappointed to have only picked up a point over the weekend, they are still firmly battling it out at the top of the Serie A standings. In their 15 top-tier matchups so far this season, they have recorded nine wins, one draw and five defeats, scoring 28 and conceding 16 in return. Mustering a points tally of 28 and sat fourth in the table, it should also be noted that the Brazilian giants hold the best-attacking tally in the division. As for their recent run of results, despite playing out a 1-1 draw against Ceará on the road, Flamengo have lost just one of their last 13 straight matchups across all formats. With Thursday’s guests seeing their last five away fixtures produce 17 goals, we’re backing what could be another lively affair in midweek.
