Betting on Cruzeiro Esporte Clube 2022 Série B Games

Cruzeiro Esporte Clube Squad

As the season draws to its climax, Cruzeiro has created an unassailable lead in Série B and been crowned champions. With the 62,000 capacity Mineirão stadium, a club steeped in history and a great support base, they will be returning to Série A after a three-season absence.

In January 2022, young 39-year-old manager Paul Pezzolano signed a one-year contract and became the first manager to become head coach under the new 90% owner Ronaldo Nazário, following the sale of the club. An impressive first season as head coach, he has seen Cruzeiro run clear at the top of the league with Pezzalano achieving an impressive approximate 62% win percentage, having taken control of over 30 games in Série B. In the league, Cruzeiro has been averaging over two points per game. Central Defender Eduardo Brock has led the team on the field as the club captain. Supporting Brock between the goalposts is experienced Rafael and with his goalkeeping skills, he has been generally keeping one clean sheet in every two games played.

In midfield, Daniel de Melo Araujo Júnior has been using his favoured left foot in attacking midfield positions while the firepower and creativity have been supplied by Edu. Cruzeiro is comfortably the league’s top scorer while also having the best defensive record.

Betting on Cruzeiro

With the 2022 Série B season drawing to a successful closure for Cruzeiro let us take a look into some of the exciting betting markets available to place a bet.

Cruzeiro to win or draw or lose

With Cruzeiro sitting comfortably in first place in the league, the odds will have shortened considerably for them to win a game, particularly at the Mineirão stadium. Interesting bets could involve away games where odds may be longer, particularly when considering a win for Cruzeiro or a draw. In the recent away game for Cruzeiro against Sport, a win for Cruzeiro was offered with odds of 2.95 while a draw was priced at 3.05. Cruzeiro lost the game with odds available for Sport at 2.55. In contrast, a Cruzeiro home game against lowly league-positioned Náutico presented the home win at 1.10.

Both Teams to Score

Decide if you think both teams are going to score a goal, or otherwise if the game will end goalless. This market for the away match against Sport had odds of 1.5, which was generous considering that both teams are performing well within the top ten and Sport had the home advantage. Ultimately, both teams did score. In Cruzeiro’s game against Náutico, both teams to score had odds of 2.15.

Cruzeiro to Score in Both Halves

Place a bet on the 2022 Série B league champions Cruzeiro to score a goal in each half of the game. The home game against Náutico saw a fixture involving the first-place and last-place teams in the division. Accordingly, Cruzeiro’s odds were shorter for this bet at 2.45, whereas Náutico was priced at 10.00.

Correct Score

This is never going to be an easy bet to win with the unpredictability of football matches and occurrences during the game. Odds can be more enticing and the Náutico game started at 10.50 for a 3 – 0 win for Cruzeiro going as high as 600.00 for a 4 – 4 draw.

Outright Markets

Bets will now be off for Cruzeiro to win the league as they have already done so. However, there will be plenty of other opportunities for outright bets to be made including which player will finish as the Série B top scorer. Players such as Gabriel Poveda of Sampaio are priced at 0.57 and Diego Souza of Gremio has odds at 4.00 and Lucca of Ponte Preta at 4.50.

The season is finally rolling towards its final rounds of matches and there will be plenty of opportunities to place a bet on those games and players that interest you, in the hope of making a great win.
