Betfair analyzes favorites for the Series B title and chances of relegation in Series A

Last weekend, the first of 38 rounds of Series B of the Brazilian Championship was held. The competition, which guarantees access for the four best to the national football elite the following year and which in recent years has proven to be very competitive, is experiencing an unprecedented situation.

Santos, who were relegated for the first time in their history in 2023, are looking to return to Serie A this season. This new chapter in the club’s history will be closely monitored by Betfair, which will calculate Peixe’s chances of access throughout the year.
