Paul Robinson turns to the Brazilian top flight tonight for his Daily Acca and it weighs in at around the 9/1 mark. Here are his selections:

- Back Flamengo @ 4/9
- Back The Draw in Internacional v Atletico PR @ 23/10
- Back BTTS in Botafogo v Cruzeiro @ 21/20

The Acca pays approximately 9/1

Flamengo to move one step closer to the title

Bet 1: Back Flamengo @ 4/9 - KO 23:00 BST

The league leaders have been running roughshod over the rest of the Brazilian top flight of late, and they have also booked their place against River Plate in the Copa Libertadores Final.

Jorge Jesus' side have won their last seven matches in all competitions, and they haven't lost a game since the first Sunday in August. They are away from home tonight, but that hasn't stopped them lately as they are currently on a run of seven straight away victories.

Opponents, Goias, were beaten 4-1 at Atletico PR last time, but they have been doing very well at home. They have taken 10 points from a possible 12 since their last defeat, and their overall record in front of their own fans this term is played 13, won eight, drawn two and lost three.

That being said, nobody has been able to live with Flamengo in the last few weeks, and I have to back them for another away success.

All square at Internacional

Bet 2: Back The Draw in Internacional v Atletico PR @ 23/10 - KO 00:30 BST (Fri)

The hosts have slid down the league a touch, courtesy of just two wins from their last eight league matches. Both of those victories did come from their three most recent outings, but they were away from home, and they were beaten in their last match here.

Internacional are usually very tough to beat in front of their own fans though, so while Atletico PR are in top form, I just can't see them taking all three points tonight.

They are unbeaten in five on the road, but three of those were draws, and they didn't keep a single clean sheet during that period.

No clean sheets at Botafogo

Bet 3: Back BTTS in Botafogo v Cruzeiro @ 21/20 - KO 00:30 BST

There should be goals at both ends when Botafogo take on Cruzeiro, and I am very surprised that it is odds-against to happen.

Botafogo have seen four of their last five on this ground end with BTTS backers collecting, and they have kept just three clean sheets here all season.

Cruzeiro are third from bottom in the league, but they are unbeaten in six. As far as the goals go, their two most recent away matches haven't had a clean sheet in them, and while they haven't been scoring too many goals this term, their output is definitely improving.
