To see… and bet. The games that will mark the week

Ohe main European championships are at a standstill, with clubs preparing for next season at this time, but the ball keeps rolling… on the other side of the Atlantic. In Brazil, the championship continues at full steam and with many Portuguese in action from the sidelines. O Sport by the Minute presents you the six ‘headlining’ matches of the coming days, whose bets you can deposit at Betclic.

Brasileirão: Palmeiras-Fortaleza (July 22, 8 pm)

Palmeiras, the team coached by Portuguese coach Abel Ferreira, is going through a crisis that has not been seen for a long time, and is forced to defeat Fortaleza to ward off the ‘ghosts’.

A triumph for the defending Brazilian champions will allow punters to multiply their respective investments by 1.58. A new ‘slip’ will pay 3.55 (in case of a tie) or 4.88 (in case of defeat).

Brasileirão: Bahia-Corinthians (July 22, 22:30 hours)

Like Palmeiras, Bahia, also owned by Luso Renato Paiva, is in bad shape, and reaches the 16th round in the fight for maintenance places in the main echelon of Brazilian football.

‘Thirsty’ for victories, the most recent member of the ‘family’ of the City Group receives Corinthians, in an unpredictable duel, as reflected by the ‘odds’ of 2.32 for the victory, 2.74 for the draw and 3.10 for the defeat.

Brasileirão: Cuiabá-São Paulo (July 22, 22:30 hours)

Another match, another Portuguese coach in trouble. This time, António Oliveira, who continues to try to keep ‘his’ Cuiabá away from the relegation places.

The 40-year-old coach will try to ‘avenge’ compatriot Abel Ferreira and defeat São Paulo, which knocked Palmeiras out of the Brazilian Cup, which he pays at 2.40. A draw yields 2.93 and a loss 2.75.

Brasileirão: Cruzeiro-Goiás (July 23, 8 pm)

The Governador Magalhães Pinto Stadium, in Belo Horizonte, will be the scene of a duel between Portuguese coaches, which will put, face to face, Cruzeiro, from Pepa, and Goiás, from Armando Evangelista.

The last two times these teams faced each other (both in 2021), the result was a 1-1 draw. Third, which way will the scales tip?

Brasileirão: Santos-Botafogo (July 23, 8 pm)

Still ‘knowing the corners at home’, the Portuguese coach Bruno Lage, successor of compatriot Luís Castro in the technical command of Botafogo, will seek to reinforce the leadership of the Brasileirão.

Cariocas are still ‘launched’ in the first position, in search of winning a title that has eluded them since 1995, and they want to win, which pays at 2.35. The ‘odd’ of a draw is 2.92, and the ‘odd’ of a loss is 2.85.

Brasileirão: Bragantino-Internacional (July 23, 8 pm)

The seventh and last Portuguese coach to take action, in the 16th round of the Brazilian championship, will be Pedro Caixinha, who wants to keep Bragantino in the fight for the top5.

To do so, they will have to beat Internacional, a result that has not been recorded for almost two years, and which yields 1.84. A draw is worth 3.20, and a home defeat 3.80.
