Botafogo SP vs Brusque Prediction & Preview
Preview
The 16th round of Brazil's Serie B sees Botafogo SP host Brusque at Estádio Santa Cruz on Sunday, with both teams desperate for points to climb up the table. Botafogo SP currently occupy 17th place with 17 points, while Brusque languish in 18th position with 14 points.
Botafogo SP have been inconsistent of late, with a mixed bag of results in their last five matches, winning two, losing two, and drawing one. They were thrashed 4-1 by CRB in their previous outing, which will be a concern for coach Paulo Gomes. At home, Botafogo SP average 0.5 goals per game and concede an average of 1 goal per game.
Brusque, on the other hand, have been drawing specialists, with five consecutive draws in their last five matches. They held Chapecoense to a 1-1 draw in their previous match, which will give them some encouragement. Away from home, Brusque score an average of 1 goal per game and concede an average of 1 goal per game.
In terms of goals, Botafogo SP have been struggling, scoring just 1 goal per game on average, while conceding a worrying 1.8 goals per game. Brusque, meanwhile, have been more solid at the back, conceding only 0.6 goals per game, but struggle to find the net, scoring an average of 0.6 goals per game.
Bet
Considering the recent form and stats, I would recommend a bet on Botafogo SP to win at home. Despite their inconsistent form, they have been stronger at home, and Brusque's inability to win games will make it difficult for them to take all three points. The odds of 2 for a home win look attractive, especially considering Brusque's away form. With Botafogo SP scoring an average of 0.5 goals per game at home, the likelihood of them scoring enough to win the match is high.
