BOTAFOGO v PARANA
Monday 26th November 2018 – Kickoff: 2000hrs
Football – Brazil – Serie A Betting Tips
It’s still the Serie A but a different country as the Brazilian top flight action continues on Monday night with Botafogo taking on bottom club Parana with more betting tips for our readers.
Botafogo occupy 9th place on the Serie A league ladder and although they have missed out on a Copa Libertadores place, they look certain to make a spot for the Copa Sudamericana which is thanks to a recent impressive run of form.
The hosts bring a five-match unbeaten sequence into this clash which includes four wins against Corinthians 1-0, Flamengo 2-1, Chapecoense 1-0 and Internacional 1-0 along with a point away at Santos in a 1-1 draw.
Botafogo have won their last three on the trot at their Estádio Nilton Santos and with just one defeat from their last nine on home turf, the hosts look well set for all three points here. Forward Kieza (7 goals) and Lindoso (7 goals) look the most likely to score for the hosts.
Parana were relegated some time ago and are now just killing time before the end of what has been a disastrous season in the Brazilian top flight, sitting bottom of Serie A and a massive 18 points from safety.
The visitors suffered yet another defeat during the week when they lost 1-0 away at Ceara, and although they’ve managed to win four league matches during this disappointing campaign, three of these have been registered at their Estádio Durival de Britto e Silva in Curitiba.
This therefore means that Parana have struggled away from home and emphatically so as they possess a woeful away record of 1-1-16 4/32 with goals being hard to come by for the poor-travelling visitors.
Indeed, Parana have failed to score in 14 of their 18 away matches to date, so therefore my betting tips advise backing Botafogo to win and cover the asian line here.
Pick: Botafogo AH-1 @ 1.59 Bet Victor
