Friday’s football action comes with a South American flavour as Brazil’s Serie A serves up a trio of intriguing clashes, while MLS offers a late-night appetiser from Yankee Stadium. We’ve picked out three bets to consider for your Friday coupon. GET £30 IN FREE BETS WITH TALKSPORT BET Bet of the Day – Sao Paulo to beat Vasco da Gama @ 5/6 Sao Paulo will be desperate to steady the ship after back-to-back league defeats and, weighing their home form against Vasco da Gama’s away record, they should get back to winning ways. The Morumbi side haven’t lost to Vasco in their last 10 home meetings, winning eight and drawing two. Despite recent setbacks, Sao Paulo’s overall form in all competitions is solid, with progress in both the Brazilian Cup and Copa Libertadores. Vasco, meanwhile, are one of the league’s worst travellers. The Rio de Janeiro-based outfit have not taken a point from five road trips while scoring just three goals and conceding 10. With Sao Paulo’s strong home record and Vasco’s struggles on the road, backing the hosts for all three points looks a smart play. Special of the Day – Under 1. 5 Goals in Gremio v Corinthians @ 11/8 Gremio and Corinthians meet in a mid-table clash in Porto Alegre, and this fixture looks unlikely to produce many goals. The hosts have found the net in each of their last four home matches, but never more than once. Meanwhile, Corinthians have failed to score in their last two league outings against Vitoria and Atletico MG. The visitors have kept three clean sheets in a row in Serie A, a much-improved showing after they had conceded eight in their previous three. Both sides are in need of points to climb the table, but defences could remain on top for a while — especially if Gremio’s 12-goal top-scorer Martin Braithwaite misses out with an ankle injury. Between them, their other striker options have managed to score only seven goals in a combined 36 games this season. Longshot of the Day – New York City FC to win, Over 3. 5 Goals & Hannes Wolf to Score Anytime v Atlanta United @ 24/5 BOOSTED to 11/2 MLS action gets under way just after midnight as New York City FC host Atlanta United at Yankee Stadium. NYCFC have been strong in the Bronx this season, winning four of their last five home games. Pascal Jansen’s side have come to rely on Hannes Wolf for their goals recently. The Austrian striker has scored three in their last three matches, including a second-half double to seal a 2-2 draw at Nashville last time out. Atlanta, for their part, have scored seven goals in their last three MLS fixtures, but have not kept a clean sheet in their last 14 games. At least four goals have been scored in two of their last three matches and two of NYCFC’s last three as well, offering good prospects for another high-scoring contest between these attack-minded clubs.
