My name is Carlos Marques, and I am a mathematics teacher and systems development technician.

A few years ago, I began bringing together two great passions: football and mathematics. Since then, I have been developing my own mathematical and statistical models to analyze and try to predict what may happen on the pitch.

I am the creator of the Matemática das Apostas channel, where I share these analyses and probabilities for matches in leagues around the world.

I am from Sergipe in northeastern Brazil and support Confiança.

My goal is to unite a passion for sport with mathematics and turn numbers and statistics into information that can help people who follow the world of sports betting.

BRASILEIRÃO - SÉRIE A (MATCHDAY 28)

Matchday 28 of the Brasileirão brings fixtures that could prove decisive for the direction of the competition, whether in the title race, the battle for a place in international competitions, or the fight against relegation. To help with the analysis, I bring you the probabilities for the main outcomes in each match - always remembering that, no matter how good the model is, no prediction is 100% reliable. Let's check out the matches and look for the best opportunities! [19/09] (16:00) - Atlético-MG vs Chapecoense Atlético-MG are currently 7th in the league with 39 points. Over their last 5 Brasileirão matches, they have recorded a performance rate of 67.5%. Galo host Chapecoense, who are bottom of the competition in 20th place with 17 points and a goal difference of -24. Their performance rate over the last 5 matches is only 45%. According to my model's calculations, Atlético-MG have a better chance of winning the match, as you can see in the image below. When it comes to goals, this match has a good chance of producing over 1.5 goals. My pick for this match is Atlético-MG to win and over 1.5 goals in the match.

Their performance rate over the last 5 matches is only 27.5%. According to my model's calculations, Mirassol have a better chance of winning the match, as you can see in the image below.
