Every pick published on 98bet goes through analysis by professionals who follow Brazilian football closely, with access to statistical data, head-to-head records, and insider news.
Our predictions are a starting point, not a guaranteed formula. Here's how to use them effectively to get the most out of your bets.
Every pick comes with a rationale. Understanding the reasoning is just as important as knowing the odds — it helps you make better decisions.
Our analysts cover the most relevant data, but you may have local knowledge that adds to the pick. Use both together.
Before betting, decide how much you're willing to risk in total. Never put more than 5% of your bankroll on a single pick, even high-confidence ones.
Track which types of picks work best for you — exact score, result, over/under, or handicap. That's how you develop your own betting style.
A sports prediction is a forecast grounded in data analysis, head-to-head history, current squad conditions, and competition context. On 98bet, the predictions published in this section are not guesses or gut feelings — they are the result of a structured process that starts with statistical data collection and ends with a clear recommendation for the bettor.
The 98bet analyst team tracks the Brasileirão Série A, Série B, Copa do Brasil, Libertadores, Sul-Americana, NBB, volleyball Superliga, and Brazil's top esports tournaments on a daily basis. The analysis process takes into account: each team's recent form (last five games), home and away performance, head-to-head history, injuries and suspensions, competition stakes, and betting market data.
Football isn't deterministic — anything can happen on the pitch. But probability isn't the same as pure randomness. A team that has won its last six home games, has its top scorer in good form, and is facing a side on a three-game losing streak objectively has a better chance of winning. Ignoring that data and backing the away side without any basis is betting against the odds.
98bet picks don't promise a 100% hit rate — no honest analyst does. What we do promise is methodological consistency. Over the long run, betting on well-reasoned picks with proper bankroll management is a strategy that outperforms impulse betting.
The 2026 Brasileirão Série A season is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in years. Flamengo, Palmeiras, and Atlético-MG lead the pack at the top, but the gap between fourth and tenth place is still tight enough to throw any final standings prediction out the window. That level of balance is great for bettors who like higher odds — upsets happen more often when teams are closely matched in quality.
At 98bet, Brasileirão markets are the most active on the platform. Odds are updated in real time, with competitive spreads even on secondary markets like corners, cards, and exact score. If you want to bet on the Brasileirão with a wide variety of markets, 98bet is where you'll find the most options.
Knockout competitions change the dynamic of predictions in a way that experienced analysts know how to exploit. In a Copa do Brasil semifinal, for example, the strategy for the first leg can be completely different from the second, depending on the score. A team that lost 1–0 at home will have no choice but to play more openly in the return fixture — creating opportunities in goals and scoreline markets that simply don't come up in the group stage.
In the Libertadores, the home advantage still carries far more weight than it does in European football. Brazilian clubs perform significantly differently when playing at altitude in Quito or La Paz compared to hosting matches in Brazil. 98bet takes these factors into account in all Libertadores-related picks — and you'll find specific analyses for each fixture in our live betting section.
A lot of people still think of sports picks as simply "who's going to win." But the best bettors work with a much wider range of markets. At 98bet you'll find analyses for:
Each market has its own nuances, and the 98bet team publishes specific picks for the markets with the best opportunities each round.
Using tips smartly means understanding they are tools to help you, not guarantees. Our historical hit rate has hovered around 65%–70% over the last twelve months — an excellent figure for the industry — but that still means three out of every ten tips won't come through. Manage your bankroll with that margin in mind.
Set a fixed stake for each bet (for example, always R$ 20.00 regardless of your confidence level), keep a record of your results, and never try to chase losses by betting more than you planned. These three simple habits are what separate bettors who turn a long-term profit from those who end up losing more than they win.
To bet on the markets featured in our predictions, you need funds in your 98bet account. Deposits can be made via Pix (available 24 hours, funds arrive instantly), boleto bancário, credit or debit card, PicPay, Mercado Pago, or TED bank transfer from Brazil's major banks — Nubank, Itaú, Bradesco, Banco do Brasil, and Caixa Econômica. The minimum balance to start betting is R$ 10.00, making 98bet accessible to any bettor, from beginners to seasoned players.
