Santos only lost one game in their last 4 games and are eager to get the full points against Botafogo to hold on to their current position in the table.

Santos: 11
Botafogo: 6
Draw: 4
Santos did not have the ideal start to the Brazil league as they managed to win only one game in their first 6 games. As time went on Santos aimed and still aims for the same objective they accomplished the previous season which is to take a Sudamericana spot. With a devastating loss against Corinthians, they got eliminated from the Brazil Cup followed by a penalty loss against Deportivo Tachira which put them out of the Copa Sudamericana for this season. Santos is now mainly focused on the Serie A to extend their fight and grab as many points to hold on to their current position and take a Sudamericana ticket for next season.

On the other hand, despite their poor start to the season and is located at the bottom of the table, Botafogo managed to create a good run that included 6 wins. However, in their last 6 games, they managed to register only a win against RB Bragantino with 5 losses including the loss against America MG which got them eliminated from the Brazil Cup. Botafogo’s objective is clear but at the same time needs a lot of effort for the players to grab the vital points.
Santos have scoreda total of 20 goals while botafogo scored 17. We expect both teams to open their attack and score goals in this game with odds of 2.06 from Helabet.
Marcos Leonardo the Brazilian striker has scored a total of 6 goals as he stays the top scorer of his team. We expect him to keep shining and helping the team by contributing to the offense.
