Botafogo vs Coritiba Predictions, Tips & Predictions

Botafogo RJ vs Coritiba
Brazil – Serie A
Date: Thursday, September 3, 2024
Starts at 12:30pm UK / 1:30pm CET
Venue: Nilton Santos Olympic Stadium (Rio de Janeiro).

Rio de Janeiro will see two medium-sized teams clash, battling for the three points in yet another Serie A match. Being at home will put the hosts ahead, but Coritiba are warming up with their winning streak, which will make the confrontation of Botafogo difficult.

The 2-0 defeat at home to Internacional spoiled Botafogo's four-game unbeaten run in the last league clash. La Coxa, on the other hand, makes the visit after a streak of two consecutive victories in the season, after a 1-0 home victory over Sport Recife in the schedule.

Botafogo RJ vs Coritiba Head to Head (h2h)

• Three of their last four games ended in a draw.
• The previous encounter gave them a 2-3 away win to The Big Fire.
• Both teams have scored in just two of their last six meetings.
• The host has recorded three of the last five overall wins.

Botafogo RJ vs Coritiba Prediction

Botafogo will play at home and will only win once in their 5 league games so far. However, their only victory was at home, which forces us to consider taking advantage of the home factor in the game.

Coritiba is no better, having only two wins in six matches so far. Given that both wins came in the last two games, the visitors should tease the hosts with their form. But 'O Glorioso' hasn't lost to the visitor at home since 2004 in the h2h matches.

By the stats, a home win is the ideal choice for the game, but the safest bet will be a no bet draw at Botafogo for decent returns. With the possibility of a few goals in ninety minutes, the tip of more than 1,5 goals will also be useful for punters.
