Botafogo, leader of the Brasileirão, returns to the field next Sunday with a clear objective: to win and to distance itself even more from its rivals. Coritiba will try to stop this sequence of good results and the game promises to be very lively.
This will be a meeting between teams that occupy different parts of the leaderboard. O Fogo has been in first place since the first rounds, while the Coxa has been in last place for many rounds, and only in the last few weeks has it shown any reaction.
When:
Sunday, July 30th –03:00 PM ET at the Estádio Nilton Santos
Moneyline odds:
Botafogo -188
Coritiba +500
Draw offs:
+285
Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Botafogo?
Botafogo is Brazil’s sensation in the 2023 season. Not even the most optimistic fan of the team could imagine such a positive scenario as this one. In 16 games, the team managed an incredible 13 wins, 1 draw, and 2 defeats.
O Fogo has the best attack, the best defense, and the top scorer in the league. Tiquinho Soares scored 11 goals and leads the statistics since the opening rounds. Even with the recent change of coach, the team maintained a high level of their performance and showed that they are determined to be Brazilian champions.
Even though they didn’t beat Santos in the last round, Botafogo made their fans happy, as they managed to draw a match after losing by 2-0. The leaders have a very strong team, with very creative players and, therefore, should beat Coritiba in the next round.
Why Bet on Coritiba?
Despite occupying 18th place, Coritiba is showing an impressive capacity for reaction. In the last 5 games, the Paraná team won 3 games and lost only one. Yesterday, at the end of the 16th round, they surprised everyone and beat Fluminense by 2-0.
The recent performances of Alef Manga, Robson, and Diogo have been the main factor for the current good moment that the Coxa is going through. If they beat Botafogo, they could escape the relegation zone and start thinking about even more daring goals.
Playing against the first place, as visitors, will not be easy. However, judging by the latest exhibitions, Coritiba fans can hope that, at the very least, their team will put their soul into the field in search of a positive result.
Final Betting Analysis: Botafogo vs. Coritiba
Teams on the rise are always a dangerous package and this Coritiba side has been attracting all the looks in the last few days. Not frequently we watch such a massive wake-up from a team that seemed destined to go down. If we have to search for examples, we can look at the Premier League and find cases like the ones of Bournemouth last season, and Crystal Palace in the brief sting of Frank de Boer. Monza in the Italian Serie A also comes to mind.
However, neither of these teams rised enough to achieve important things in the league, just stayed up. We believe that the Coxa may find a mountain too high to climb in one of the most in-form teams in the entire continent. Surprises are a given in the Brasileirão, but we’ll go with a 2-1 for Botafogo.
If you put $100 into Botafogo’s win, you could get $53 back for a total payout of $153.
