These newly promoted teams are Athletico Paranaense, Bahia, Ceará, and Real Ariquemes. Their inclusion brings fresh energy and excitement to the championship, adding a layer of unpredictability to the season.

Corinthians Start their Title Defence Strongly

Corinthians, the defending champions, are making their presence felt once again. This team has consistently shown their prowess in the league, and their performance this season is no exception. Leading the table with 28 points, 43 goals scored, and only 7 goals conceded, Corinthians has set the standard for other teams. Corinthians' performance is commendable, particularly in their strong defence and prolific attack, as demonstrated by their striking home win of 14-0 against Ceará.

Corinthians are currently top of the division, winning 9 of their opening twelve matches, drawing once and losing twice. The defending champions have the second-best defence in the league and the best attack. Corinthians were defeated 1-0 in their most recent match, away at Kindermann.

Palmeiras Scoring Goals for Fun

Corinthians are not alone in their offensive dominance. Palmeiras is another team that's made a significant impact this season. Matching Corinthians stride for stride, they have scored an equally impressive 43 goals. Their ability to find the back of the net has been remarkable, and their attacking prowess is certainly something to watch out for in the upcoming matches.

Palmeiras are fourth in the league, having won 8 of their opening twelve matches, drawing and losing twice apiece. The team have scored the same number of goals as Corinthians but have conceded twelve goals across their twelve matches. However, in their previous three matches, Palmeiras have won three out of three, with impressive wins over Ferroviária, Cruzeiro and Internacional.

Ferroviária Win 9 from 12

Ferroviária, while currently sitting in the third spot, is not to be overlooked. They have managed to score a commendable 33 goals. Their aggressive attacking strategy has yielded fruitful results, making them another team to keep an eye on. Their performance thus far indicates a strong potential to climb higher in the rankings as the season progresses. The leading goal scorer of the league, so far, is none other than Aline Gomes, playing up front for Ferroviária and scoring nine goals.

Ferroviária been one of the most impressive teams this season, winning several matches in a row. The team have already won three in a row and five in a row. However, having lost three matches as well, Ferroviária are not yet title contenders. The team will have to start avoiding losses to shoot higher up the table. They are the only team in the top half of the league that have failed to draw any matches. If the side drew two of the three losses, they would currently be in top spot. Ferroviária are a team to watch this season and may impress as the season develops.

Cruzeiro Remain Inconsistent

Another team that's worth mentioning is Cruzeiro. Although not as prolific in scoring as Corinthians or Palmeiras, Cruzeiro has demonstrated a balanced performance with 26 goals scored. Their consistent performance indicates a solid team effort and a strategic approach to both offense and defence. However, the team have lost their three most recent fixtures, leaving them 9th in the table with 14 points from eleven matches.

Cruzeiro have won four matches, drawn twice and lost five. Despite having more defeats than victories, the team still has a positive goal difference, scoring 26 goals and conceding 23. Cruzeiro have been impressive towards the start of the Brasileirao Feminino 2023 season, however, three losses in their past three games have left them in mid-table. To improve, they will have to return to winning ways.

Flamengo’s Stingy Defence

Flamengo is one of the teams worth keeping an eye on. The Brazilian club has only conceded 5 goals from eleven matches. They have the stingiest defence in the league, which has been the foundation of the club’s successful results.

At the time of writing, Flamengo are second in the league, level on points with Corinthians. The team has won 9 of their opening fixtures, drawing once and losing once. Rubro Negro may turn out to be champions this season, as so far, they have shown they would be worthy winners. Flamengo lost their opening game of the season to Santos. However, after that loss, the team won nine games in a row. Their most recent result was a 1-1 draw at home with São Paulo.

Ceará Fail to Win

On the other end of the spectrum, in terms of goals conceded, there are a few teams that have shown room for improvement. Ceará has let in 65 so far. The newly promoted team will need to bolster their defence to enhance their position in the table. The club has faced challenges in their defensive line, and it will be interesting to see how they adapt and evolve their strategies to fortify their defence. Ceará is a team to watch but not for the right reasons. Their fixtures are full of goals, with the team failing to accumulate points on the league table after twelve games.

Teams to Watch this Season
