Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our calculations suggest that it's fairly unlikely that this match will deliver 4 goals or more, and the odds and statistics align with KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Botafogo and Cortiba have seldom been involved in a high volume of goals of late, whether that be in Serie A individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, without a strong favourite draw or double chance market, we're recommending under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.25.

Goal Statistics

Botafogo have been consistent in front of goal of late, finding the net in 5 consecutive Serie A matches. Their PG of 1.6 against Coritiba on Sunday suggests that run is likely to continue.

A truly awful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Coritiba fans, as should a 5 Serie A games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
