Competition: Brazil Serie C
Market: Botafogo PB win
Odds: 8/5 @ Pribet
Two sides who find themselves battling it out at opposite ends of the Serie C standings, Botafogo will make the trip to the Lindolfo Monteiro when they meet Altos on Sunday night.
Starting with the hosts, while Altos might have just about clung to their Serie C status last season, the Alligators face a huge uphill battle this time around. Despite being last seen snatching a 1-1 draw at home against America RN, that result doesn’t cover what has been a nightmare rut for Jerson Testoni’s men. Sat rock-bottom of the third-tier table and tipped as a leading relegation contender in 2023, the Piaui-based outfit are in the midst of an eight-match unbeaten rut – a run that stems all the way back to May 29th. With their extended struggle underlined by an action-packed 3-2 defeat at the hands of Amazonas last month, Altos have also failed to find any stability on home soil this season. Failing to muster a single win at the Lindolfo Monteiro over the past couple of months, Testoni’s side should also be worried by their woeful record against Sunday’s guests. Including a 2-1 loss when they travelled to Santa Cruz last season, the Alligators have failed to win any of their six meetings against Botafogo.
As for the visitors, making an immediate return to winning ways last week as they claimed a lively 2-1 victory at home against Aparecidense, Botafogo find themselves cruising towards another play-off ticket in 2023. Along with signing off June with an action-packed 3-2 win at home against Paysandu, Adilson Batista’s men have lost just a pair of their last 15 straight appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to March 26th. Looking to move within touching distance of top spot when they travel to Piaui-based this weekend, the former Gremio boss will be smelling the chance for his side to make another Serie C statement on Sunday night. Likewise, suffering just one defeat on their travels over the past four months, Botafogo will certainly be looking to cash in on an Altos squad who find themselves at the heart of a relegation scrap. Two sides who find themselves battling it out at opposite ends of the Serie C table, we are expecting an away win on Sunday night.
