Brasileirão Serie A Betting
Despite the controversy about the excessive costs of 11 new or rebuilt stadiums for the 2014 World Cup, the exercise seems to have had a reasonably positive impact on the Brasileirão championship or, at least, on the economic growth of Brazilian football. Structurally, Brazilian football still remains heavily indebted, which leads to the massive exodus of young, future stars to Europe. They only come back to the country in the evening of their careers for their final curtain calls.
Remaining a powerful football nation, the Brazilian league stays super competitive, especially with all the titles at stake between the Brasileirão championship and the Brazilian cup, not to mention the local competitions. Make your bets on the Brazilian Cup on our online sports betting platform.
The championship is controlled by the CBF
Currently, Serie A is controlled by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), making the country one of the few major football nations where the national federation oversees the national league structure.
The clubs want to break away from the CBF's structures and establish a new league governing body to run the Serie A, ensuring greater influence over how the game is played in Brazil.
Although a tie-up has long been mooted, plans took a big step forward when 19 of the 20 Serie A clubs submitted a document to the CBF indicating their intention to create a new league structure. The CBF has often been accused of giving priority to the national team over the years. Incidentally, Brazil is leading the World Cup qualifiers in the Conmebol zone.
The Auriverde frequently start the competition as the favourite in the Conmebol area or for World Cup betting.

Strange though it might sound, since the beginning of the season, 40% of the games have not seen either team score before halftime. Smart bettors will place their bets in the second half.
