Our attention turns to the Brazilian Serie A on Wednesday with seven fixtures taking place across the day, starting with the 14:00 clash between Corinthians and Cruzeiro.
That clash, along with Flamengo’s trip to Cuiaba and Bragantino’s hosting of Sao Paulo, are where our three betting suggestions come from.

Bet of the day
Flamengo to beat Cuiaba @ 33/40
The bet of the day is for fourth-placed Flamengo to claim the win when they head to second-from-bottom Cuiaba, who are eight points from safety and without a win in five matches.
Cuiaba haven’t scored during this winless period and they have also been blanked in three of their last four home matches, a worrying sign ahead of Flamengo’s visit.
Filipe Luís’s visitors are on a seven-game unbeaten run, winning the Copa do Brasil during this period, and it is hard to look past anything but a routine away victory for them.
Longshot of the Day
Sao Paulo to win, both teams to score – No & over 6.5 total corners @ 3/1
Sao Paulo have collected 10 points from the last 12 on offer and they look capable of extending their four-match unbeaten streak when they head to struggling Bragantino.
Bragantino sit 18th in the standings, a point from safety and without a win from their last nine matches, with their most recent victory coming against Bahia at the start of September.
A 14th league defeat of the season looks likely for Fernando Seabra’s side, who haven’t scored in their last five outings and may see that record extending further.
Sao Paulo have kept four clean sheets from their last six away fixtures in all competitions and can record another shutout here.
Rounding off this bet builder is for there to be over 6.5 total corners. Bragantino have taken 133 corners in the league, three less than Sao Paulo, with the pair averaging just over four per match.
Special of the Day
Cruzeiro to beat Corinthians @ 7/1
The long shot of the day is for Cruzeiro to pick up an away win at Corinthians, who are four places and six points worse off than their opponents.
It won’t be easy for Cruzeiro to come out on top, as they face a Corinthians side that haven’t lost at home since suffering a 1-0 defeat to Botafogo in June and have won their last three Serie A matches.
However, three of the last five home games for Timao have ended in draws and this should give Cruzeiro, who have won two of their last three assignments, the belief they can come away with all three points.
The Foxes triumphed 3-0 when these sides met at the Estadio Governador Magalhaes Pinto in July, and they look capable of chalking up another impressive victory, this time at the Neo Quíimica Arena.
