Why Bet on São Paulo?
The locals hold a record of nine wins, four draws, and five losses, and have shown to be a tough team to play against on their home field.
The Paulistas followed up a home win over Grêmio last week with a goalless draw against Juventude on the road. They have now lost only one of their previous seven matches in the Brasileirão while winning five and drawing one of the remaining six.
In fairness, though, Luis Zubeldia’s side has fared well over the last month and a bit without their Colombian playmaker, who has scored two goals and provided four assists in his previous 22 appearances.
At MorumBIS this season, São Paulo has an above-average record of 19 points earned from a possible 27 and, is now gunning for a fifth consecutive win at home dating back to a 1-0 defeat to Cuiabá in mid-June.
Why Bet on Botafogo?
The visitors come from a five-match win streak and a seven-match unbeaten streak. The current leaders have had a tremendous run of 12 wins, three draws, and three losses, and have looked solid again this Brasileirão.
Botafogo’s rise to the top over the last two seasons has been remarkable, considering they only earned promotion back to the top flight in 2022.
In its first season back in Série A, O Fogo secured 11th place and followed up with a top-five finish last term. This year, they are already on 39 points after 18 games, three points clear of defending champions Palmeiras in second.
On the road this season, the visitors currently possess the best record in the division with 17 points taken from a possible 27, and, they are also unbeaten in their last three games, including a draw and back-to-back victories.
Final Betting Analysis: São Paulo vs. Botafogo
While São Paulo has been very good on their home patch this term, it is difficult to back against Botafogo given their record. In the last eight games, we have three wins for the Paulistas, one draw, and four victories for the O Fogo, all in a row before their previous encounter, on August 2023, ended in a draw.
Botafogo’s record on the road is enough for us to be confident that São Paulo won’t be able to have their way on their home turf. Either way, it’ll surely be a tight match with few goals, so we’ll go for a 1-1.
Go for a draw at 3.32. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $232 for a total payout of $332.
