Bitesize Prediction: Botafogo vs Goias – 07/06/22

Competition: Brazil Serie A

Market: Botafogo win

Odds: 7/10 @ 888sport

Looking to make an immediate return to winning ways in midweek, Botafogo will welcome Goias to the Estádio Nilton Santos in the early hours of Tuesday.

Starting with the hosts, last seen putting in what was a flat display when drawing a close to May, there is no doubt that Botafogo will be seeking an immediate response here. However, despite eventually getting hit with a 1-0 loss when they made the trip to Cortibia, Head Coach Luís Castro has seen his side gain plenty of praise from across Brazil since opening the 2022 campaign. With last weeks’ defeat their only loss from their previous nine matchups across all formats, the Rio de Janeiro-based outfit should be smelling a real chance on Tuesday. With their sights now set on finding a route into the top-four, fans around the Estádio Nilton Santos should be boosted by their side’s continued success on home soil. Last seen in front of their own supporters picking up back-to-back 3-1 and 3-0 wins against Fortaleza and Ceilandia, Botafogo are rightfully tipped as a standout pick here.

As for the visitors, managing to extend of their Copa do Brasil adventure with a hard-fought 2-0 win away at Bragantino, Goias are in the midst of a recent boost. However, while Jair Ventura’s men might have lost just one of their last six matchups across all formats, a run that stems back to April 26th, they are still at the heart of a relegation scrap. Opening Tuesday’s trip to the Estádio Nilton Santos sat in the drop zone and chasing a one point deficit, they have also shown some extended issues on the road. Including a 1-0 loss away at Flamengo in their last away appearance on Serie A duties, they have lost four of their last six contests outside of Goiânia. Despite enjoying a recent flurry over recent weeks, we’re backing a home victory in the early hours of Tuesday.
