Botafogo RJ vs Goias Betting Tips

Botafogo RJ are 15th on the table with 18 points from 16 matches. They are only two points above the relegation zone. Botafogo RJ have the fourth-worst attack in Serie A, but in the last few rounds, their attacking line started to perform much better, so now the whole team is improving. Botafogo RJ won two of the previous three matches. In the last round, they lost 3-1 on the road vs Gremio. Botafogo RJ had plenty of chances in that game, but they failed to score more than once.

I already said that Botafogo's attacking line is playing better at the moment. They scored at least one goal in every of the last six league matches. Botafogo RJ went over 2.5 line previous three games.

Goias are 20th on the table with just ten points from 14 matches. They are at rock bottom, so there is a lot of work in front of Goiania's team. Goias have the worst defense in league with 28 allowed goals. Goias are without a win in the last six matches. In the previous round, they played 1-1 at home against Bahia.

At least Goias' defensive leaks are good for our over 2.5 goal bets. This team went over this line in five of the last six games.
Five of the last six head-to-head matches between Botafogo RJ and Goias are low scoring, but in the previous game in Rio de Janeiro, the home team won 3-1.

Botafogo RJ vs Goias Correct Score Predictions

I think that this game should be ideal for over 2.5 goal bet. My prediction is a 2-1 win for the home team.
