Football Accumulator Tips: Back Brazilian quartet in 10/1 Sunday acca

Brazil is home to Sunday's Football Accumulator Tips, with all four of my selections heralding from the South American nation.

We don't just go for the big boys here, though, with a pick each from the second (Serie B) and third (Serie C) tier, accompanying a couple from the first (Serie A).

Match Result - Chapecoense (H) to beat CRB (20:00 BST) @ 10/11

Starting this Sunday acca are Serie B sides Chapecoense and CRB, who meet at the former's Arena Conda in Chapeco.

The hosts are unbeaten in their last five games (W3, D2), with only Cricuma (13) picking up more points than their tally of 11 in that period.

In contrast, CRB have claimed just four points from their last five second-tier outings (W1, D1, L3), and it's five defeats from their last seven in the competition. However, a goalless draw at Cruzeiro in the first leg of their Copa do Brasil last-16 tie on Thursday should have instilled some belief into a confidence-stricken side.

Football Odds

Still, the visitors are up against it this weekend in Chapeco, where Chapecoense have won six of their nine league games (W6, D1, L2) this season, and in their most recent outing there, against Volta Redonda on July 23, they surged to a 4-2 success.

CRB's away record doesn't make for good reading, as only Volta Redonda and Amazonas (both three) have picked up fewer points on their travels than Galo (six), who have lost six of their 10 away games (W1, D3, L6), and five of their last six.

Match Result - Botafogo FR (H) to beat Cruzeiro (20:00 BST) @ 21/20

We move on up to Serie A for our next two picks, the first involving Botafogo and Cruzeiro, who face off at Fogo's Estadio Olimpico Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro, where the hosts are unbeaten in seven league games (W4, D3) this season. Only Flamengo (23), Cruzeiro (22) and Bahia (20) have collected more points at home than Fogo (15), and the first two of those have played two more matches, while Bahia have played one extra.

Fogo have been held by Vitoria (0-0) and Corinthians (1-1) in their last two home contests, but they beat a Serie A side, Red Bull Bragantino, there in the first leg of their Copa do Brasil last-16 tie on Wednesday.

Cruzeiro are second in Serie A, eight points above Fogo, but Raposa have played twice more, and have failed to win their last three matches across all competitions. They drew 0-0 at Corinthians before falling to a 2-1 defeat at home to Ceara, and earlier this week, were held at home by CRB (0-0) in the Copa do Brasil.

Today's Football Fixtures

Remarkably, Fogo haven't beaten their next opponents since September 2016, going 13 games without a win in this fixture (D8, L5), but I'm backing Davide Ancelotti's side to break their head-to-head curse on Sunday.

Fogo impressed at the 2025 Fifa Club World Cup in June, beating Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 en route to second place in Group B, and only exiting the competition on penalties to Palmeiras in the last 16.

They've since made some strong additions, too, bringing in Danilo from Nottingham Forest and Jordan Barrera from Atletico Junior to offset the departures of Gregore, Jair Cunha and Igor Jesus.

Cruzeiro have failed to score in two of their last three away outings, and they may struggle to find a way past Fogo, who have kept four clean sheets in five games since returning from the USA.

Match Result - Corinthians (H) to beat Fortaleza EC (20:00 BST) @ 4/5

The second and final selection from Serie A takes us to the Neo Quimica Arena in Sao Paulo, where Corinthians entertain Fortaleza.

Corinthians are winless in their last three league games (D2, L1), but secured a confidence-boosting victory over Palmeiras in the first leg of their Copa do Brasil last-16 tie on Thursday.

On Sunday, Memphis Depay & Co. take on Fortaleza, who sit seven points below them, albeit with a game in hand, and look set for a survival scrap this season, with only Juventude (19th) and Sport Recife (20th) currently behind them in the table.

Their home form hasn't been awful, with 11 points picked up from nine games, but on their travels, they've claimed just three from seven (D3, L4), failing to win a single contest; only Juventude (zero) and Sport Recife (two) have accrued fewer points away from home than Laion, who have lost their last three on the road, failing to score in heavy defeats at Vasco da Gama (3-0) and Flamengo (5-0) before a 2-1 loss at Gremio last time out.

Corinthians have flattered to deceive at times this term, but with Depay heading into Sunday with a goal in his last two appearances, there is hope that this is the start of something more promising. At home to a struggling Fortaleza, this is a terrific opportunity to collect maximum points, and I'm backing the hosts to come up trumps in Sao Paulo.

Match Result - Sao Bernardo FC (H) to beat Tombense (20:30 BST) @ 3/5

We drop down to Serie C for the final fixture of this four-fold, with Sao Bernardo taking on Tombense at the Estadio Primeiro de Maio.

At the time of writing, Sao Bernardo are fifth in the standings, 11 points better off than bottom-club Tombense, who are winless in their last 10 games (D5, L5).

Sunday's visitors haven't won away from home all season, drawing three and losing four of their seven away trips, and they face a tough test this weekend in Sao Bernardo, where the hosts have picked up more than half (12) of their 23-point haul, losing just once in seven contests (W3, D3, L1).

Sao Bernardo are unbeaten in their last six games and have won two of their last three at home, while in the corresponding fixture last year, they triumphed 4-2, so backing them for victory on Sunday makes a whole lot of sense.
