Santos vs Botafogo Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the Brazilian Serie A on Sunday, 23 July 2023.
Botafogo had a decent start to this season. They have maintained the same further impressively. The team follows a six-match winning streak and climbed into the top of the standings.
Meanwhile, Santos had an unimpressive start to this season and maintained the same further. They were winless in eight of the last 10 league fixtures and dropped into 14th in the standings.
Santos was unbeaten in seven of the last eight head to head clashes against Botafogo. However, the recent meeting ended in a 3-0 win for Botafogo.
Five of the last eight clashes had goals under 2.5 ft. Santos are on an eight-match unbeaten streak against Botafogo at this stadium.
Santos have an unimpressive form at home of late. They were winless in five of the last six league outings at home. Meanwhile, Botafogo follows an exceptional form on the road. They won the last three league road trips in a row.
In that case, we expect a win for Botafogo on Sunday despite of the head to head upper hand of Santos.
More than half of the matches played by these two teams had goals under 2.5 ft. Going on, five of the last 8 h2h clashes between these two were low-scoring. In that case, we don’t expect this match to have goals over 2.5 ft.
Since we expect a low-scoring match with a win for Botafogo, goals are unlikely to come from both ends. On top of that Botafogo sealed a clean sheet victory in the last three road trips.
Botafogo have recorded a set of victories unlike Santos who have lost two of their past three league home matches. Moreover, Botafogo are at the top of the league table at the moment.
We therefore like to place Botafogo to win at 1.95 odds as the main betting option. For the second tip, we like to place the under 2.5 goals tip at 1.55 odds.
