The emotions of the 2023 Brasileirão season continue, and the teams are set to fight their matches corresponding to matchday 17. For now, Botafogo continues to lead the standings with an 11-point advantage over Gremio, its closest rival.
Then, we had a very nice fight between second and fifth place in the table, as only three points separated them. At the same time, there is only a three-point difference between sixth place (Sao Paulo) and 12th place (Cuiabá). As a result, after the end of this 17th matchday of the season, we could have many changes in the different zones of the standings.

Why Bet on Santos?
After a somewhat positive start to the season, Santos fell back to their performance in recent seasons. The team enters matchday 17 with only one win in its last five games, leaving much to be desired offensively.
As a result, the Peixe is in 14th place in the overall standings with a record of 4 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses and is four points behind Atlético Mineiro, the 13th place team in the table.
Santos needs to turn their situation around as soon as possible if they want to start fighting for a place in the top 12, i.e., for international competition places. There is still a long way to go in the season, but the more points they lose, the more complicated it will be for them to return to their best level. Finally, Santos come into this matchday after a 2-2 draw in their last game against Botafogo.
Why Bet on Fluminense?
On the other hand, we have Fluminense, one of the most popular teams in the Brasileirão, which comes to this matchday with the firm conviction of returning to the path of victory to continue their fight to enter the top 4 of the table.
The Tricolor is currently in seventh place in the standings with a record of 7 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses. In addition, the team has displayed a good offense so far, as they have scored 21 goals in 16 games. However, the 16 goals they have conceded may be the cause of the team’s lack of consistency and, above all, dear.
Fluminense has everything in its hands to take the victory at home in this match against Santos. Likewise, it is worth noting that the Flu comes into this match after a tough defeat against Coritiba by 0-2.
