Fortaleza vs Botafogo RJ Prediction & Betting Tips (12 May)

Botafogo RJ may have been struggling somewhat on their own patch of late, but the Botafogo RJ have endured no such difficulties on the road, collecting ten points from a possible 15. Having lost seven of their last nine home games at this level, Fortaleza can only dream of such impressive form, and it is easy to see why Fortaleza find themselves less better.

Fortaleza have proven extremely inconsistent on their own patch of late, winning three, drawing four and losing three of their previous ten Serie A matches, yet all of these contests have served up under 3.5 goals. Not only that, but nine of the last 10 Botafogo RJ away games at this level have also produced three goals or fewer.

Hitting the back of the net has proven relatively straightforward for Botafogo RJ on their top-flight travels recently, with the coach charges doing so 17 times in 18 trips. Given that Fortaleza have scored in ten of their previous 10 home matches at the top table of the Serie A, it would come as a surprise to see either keeper emerge with a clean sheet.
