Sao Paulo to Win

While Botafogo started their first season back in Serie A well, they were horrible lately with four losses in a row and that’s why they dropped down to the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Sao Paulo is without a loss in the last nine games and third in the standings at the moment.

So, we were a bit surprised to see the odds the guests here since we feel that they should be clear favourites. After all, Sao Paulo also beat Botafogo in three of their last five duels. Taking all this into account, we feel confident in Sao Paulo ahead of this game.

Over 2.5 Total Goals

Three of the previous five h2h meetings between Botafogo and Sao Paulo have gone over 2.5 total goals and we can see that happening again on Thursday.

Furthermore, Botafogo averaged 2.55 goals per game in the league so far, while Sao Paulo averaged 2.64 goals per game in Serie A in the first eleven games of the season.

Both Teams to Score – Yes

We saw both teams score in just two of the last five head-to-head duels between Botafogo and Sao Paulo, but we are certainly expecting this to happen in their next game.

The reason lies in the simple fact that both teams scored in 64% of all Botafogo matches in Serie A so far, while the same is true for a whopping 82% of all Sao Paulo games in the league.

Botafogo vs Sao Paulo preview: A very interesting matchup

Botafogo

While Botafogo had a solid start of the new season in their return to the top flight of the Brazilian football, they have struggled in the most recent matches. In fact, Botafogo is now on a four-game losing streak and that caused them to drop all the way to the relegation zone in the standings. Carlinhos, Sauer, and Rafael are on the team’s injury list right now and they will miss the upcoming game.

Sao Paulo

The new season of Serie A has been good so far for Sao Paulo since the team is currently in the fourth place in the standings with eighteen points from eleven games. The team is also without a loss in the last nine games, so they are clearly in great form. That being said, Sao Paulo has a few injured players, while Beraldo and Arboleda are away with their national teams at the moment.
