Botafogo take on the visitors Fortaleza in the round 10 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, June 11th at Estadio Olimpico Nilton Santos (Rio de Janeiro).
Botafogo managed to climb to the first place in the early part of the season, which was quite unexpected, but their results have started to decline. While they began the season with 5 consecutive victories, they have only managed to win twice in the subsequent 4 matches. As for the upcoming match, bookmakers strongly believe in the home team, but this faith raises certain doubts. Fortaleza plays a very tight game and often settles for draws against their opponents. On the other hand, Botafogo has started losing, not even to the most formidable opponents, such as Goiás, for example. Therefore, betting on a home victory seems highly questionable. It appears that Botafogo, a mid-table team, is gradually descending to their true position.

Fortaleza are also a mid-table team, just like Botafogo. In the previous season, they finished slightly higher than their upcoming opponent. As for the current season, Fortaleza has been actively playing for draws, with 5 draws already in the 9 matches they have played. What can we expect this time? Probably another tight game from the visitors, attempting to keep the match dry. After all, in 3 out of the last 5 matches, Fortaleza ended up with a 0-0 draw against their opponents. Although bookmakers are actively underestimating the guests in this match, it doesn't seem quite logical, and Botafogo is a very questionable favorite.
This is a match between two evenly matched teams that could very well end in a draw. It's equally risky to bet on the home team's victory as it is to bet on the away team, as both teams have similar chances of success. Therefore, it might be worth considering placing a bet on the option: X2. The away team is fully capable of securing points in this match.
Prediction for the match: Fortaleza not to lose (X2).
