PORTUGUESA - CRUZEIRO: PREDICTIONS

Portuguesa meet up with Cruzeiro in another intriguing Brazil Serie A fixture. One of Sao Paulo’s smaller teams Portuguesa are not expected to hold the giants of Minas Gerais.

Portuguesa are not considered one of the better teams of Brazil Serie A and the side created by Portuguese immigrants are a small side in an already packed Sao Paulo. Portuguese are odds on already to be relegated back to Serie B and it will be a hard season for them indeed. Lusa have made a decent start to the season however and with 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat are showing they are prepared to fight. That they have had the most difficult of opening fixtures means they will improve against the lesser sides. Of their opening 5 games only Nautico of the teams faced will be in the bottom half of the table for sure

Cruzeiro were amongst the favourites at the start of the season as they are usually there or there abouts each year. They have drifted slightly after a few poor away showings but they look really strong at home already were they have had three solid games, including an opening day 5-0 against Goias. Starting the season with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat sees them in a good position in this long Brazilian season.

PORTUGUESA - CRUZEIRO: BETTING TIPS

The game is a really tight one as can be expected, Cruzeiro are the superior side without a doubt. Portuguesa are not considered a big team at all in Brazil and they do not get the fervent home support almost all sides bank on. The odds are very close here but I choose to go with with Cruzeiro at 0 (1.83 bet365) on Asian Handicaps. We get stake refunded if the game is drawn. Money is on Cruzeiro on Asians and traditional odds so this game looks like it will go off with the visitors clear favourites so a bet now while the value is there is suggested.

Bet Cruzeiro at 0 with bet365, they are offering a matched deposit of 100% on 1st deposits - up to €200 or £200
