Botafogo vs Coritiba Predictions

• Botafogo have a perfect home record in Serie A with eight wins in as many games.
• Fogo have only conceded one goal at home in this competition.
• Coritiba have lost five of their eight away games.

Botafogo can get back to winning ways

Brazilian pacesetters Botafogo were held to a 2-2 stalemate at Santos last time out and have drawn their last two in all competitions, but they can get back to winning ways against relegation-threatened Coritiba on Sunday.

The visitors have hit a bit of form themselves with 10 points from the last 12 available but none of those games have come against the current top six – and their only away win in eight attempts has come at fellow strugglers Goias.

Fogo can win without conceding

A Botafogo win to nil looks a strong option for the main bet given their exceptional record in Serie A at the Estadio Olimpico Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro.

Fogo have won all eight of their home games and have conceded just one goal, and they face a Coritiba side who have lost five of their eight trips.

The hosts rarely put teams to the sword, however, and their last four home league wins have all been 2-0 successes so a repeat result is the clear standout pick for a correct score bet.

Tiquinho Soares is the league’s leading marksman with 11 goals and he looks a good contender for an anytime effort after ending a four-game barren run in the draw with Santos.
