Wednesday's trip to Brazil delivered another winner for our football props column and it's heading back to Serie A for a huge game on Thursday night.

  • Sasha has 2+ shots in 8 of his last 9 games

  • Add Ortiz to complete 12/5 Bet Builder for crunch clash


Flamengo v Red Bull Bragantino
Thursday 23 November, 00:30 GMT (Fri)

This is a huge battle in a thrilling title race in Brazil.

The six-way fight is nearing its conclusion - there will be just four games left for the contenders after Thursday night - and so there is little room for error.

Flamengo really need to win - defeat would leave them five points behind the current leaders, Palmeiras.

Bragantino, meanwhile, know victory would put them level with Palmeiras, who are the reigning champions.

The draw, while not a total disaster, really suits neither.

Leg 1: Eduardo Sasha 2+ shots

The game, therefore, has the potential to open up and I feel the value lies in the shots markets.

Focus is on Bragantino as not only are they the ones more likely to be chasing - Flamengo are odds-on to win with the layers - but they are also the team who have had the most shots in Serie A this season.

In addition, only six sides have conceded more shots than the hosts.

Centre forward Eduardo Sasha looks the man most likely to deliver shots for the visitors.

He's managed 2+ shots in eight of his last nine games and 3+ in six of those. The safer, former option gets the nod here.

Leg 2: Leo Ortiz 1+ shot

I'll add that to a Bet Builder which also features 1+ shot for defender Leo Ortiz.

The centre-back is a big threat at set plays, something Bragantino get plenty of.

They lead the league for corners won, while Flamengo are above average when it comes to corners conceded.

Ortiz has managed at least one shot in five of his last seven matches, while since returning from a long-term injury in July, he's landed this in 11 of 18 appearances.

Getting odds-against about this outcome therefore looks a decent play and produces a Bet Builder with a price of around 12/53.40.
