How to Bet on Brasileirão Soccer

Brasileirão, also known as the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, is the highest level of Brazilian soccer.

The league, which was founded in 1959, is comprised of 20 clubs. The 20 clubs take part in a domestic cup (Copa do Brasil), as well as several international cups including the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana.

The current champions, Palmeiras, have won the title ten times, which is the most in the history of the league.

Some of the teams that are currently in Brasileirão are:

Internacional
Santos FC

Athletico-PR
EC Bahia

As is the case with the major European leagues, each team in Brasileirão will play each other twice - one in their home stadium, the other in their opponent's stadium. This means that each Brasileirão team will play a total of 38 games every season, not including national and international cup games.

The team with the most points at the end of the season is awarded the championship. Victories, goal difference and goals scored are all used to determine ranking.

Each season, the bottom four teams in Brasileirão are relegated to Serie B, while the top 4 clubs in Serie B are included in Brasileirão.

The top six teams in Brasileirão advance to the Copa Libertadores, while the top four clubs are entered directly into the group stage of the event. The next best six teams in Brasileirão qualify for Copa Sudamericana.

The Copa do Brasil is a national event that includes all 26 Brazilian states plus the Federal District. 91 teams take part in the event, and it includes teams from all levels in the country. Many of the big clubs are not very interested in the competition, which leads to smaller clubs doing very well in the competition.
