Bitesize Prediction: Botafogo SP vs Volta Redonda – 15/07/25

Competition: Brazil Serie B

Market: Botafogo SP draw no bet

Odds: 7/10 @ BetUS

Two camps who find themselves scrapping it out at the foot of the Serie B standings, Botafogo will welcome Volta Redonda to Santa Cruz in the early hours of Tuesday.

Starting with the hosts, while Botafogo might have got the 2025 campaign underway in the midst of what was a public crisis, the Panthers have turned somewhat of a recent corner. Dragging themselves outside the drop zone and enjoying their most fruitful spell of the season so far, Marcio Zanardi’s side have suffered just a single defeat from their previous seven Serie B appearances – a run that stems all the way back to May 17th. Likewise, claiming consecutive 1-0 victories against Chapecoense and Cuiaba on either side of opening July, the Sao Paulo-based outfit will be desperate to extend on their recent flurry. Putting seven points on the board from their last three outings, Tuesday’s hosts will also be excited by their new-found defensive steel. Along with registering three straight Serie B clean sheets, Botafogo have not shipped a single strike at Santa Cruz in almost 300 minutes of action.

As for the visitors, while Volta Redonda might have signed off June with an essential 1-0 victory at home against Operario, Rogerio Correa’s side came immediately crashing back down to earth last time out. Putting in a toothless display as they slumped to a routine 2-0 defeat away at Coritiba, it is no secret that Tuesday’s guests are pencilled in as a standout contender to be hit with an immediate third-tier return, the former CSA boss appears to have a major job on his hands. Getting the midweek fixtures underway sat in the drop zone, Volta have won just a pair of their previous five appearances. Hit with another 2-0 loss against Atletico GO last month, Correa’s men are also searching for a crucial clinical edge in the final third. Notching just a single Serie B strike in over 300 minutes of action, we are backing a home draw no bet here.
