Match Preview
As Botafogo SP prepares to host Criciúma at Estádio Santa Cruz, the match promises to be a compelling encounter in Serie B. Botafogo's recent form has been shaky, with only one victory in their last five matches (DLWLL), which has left them struggling for consistency. In contrast, Criciúma has shown more resilience, recording three wins in their last five outings (WDWLW), suggesting they are gaining momentum as the season progresses. Historically, this fixture has favoured Botafogo, with four wins in the last ten meetings, including a strong home record. However, the lack of goals in their previous encounters—only one match seeing over 2.5 goals and no instances of both teams scoring—indicates a tendency for tight contests. Given the odds, a bet on under 2.5 goals at 2.87 could be worth considering, especially with both teams' recent scoring struggles. As Botafogo seeks to turn their form around, the pressure will be on them to deliver a strong performance against a confident Criciúma side.
