Botafogo SP vs CRB Prediction – Brazilian Serie B

Botafogo SP is currently sitting in 18th place, having garnered just 5 points from 1 win, 2 draws, and 5 losses. In their penultimate outing, they suffered a 0-3 defeat at home to Athletic de Bilbao. Most recently, they lost away to Priza PR by 0-3. Interestingly, the team has performed better away, with a record of 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses in their last 30 away matches, compared to only 2 wins, 6 draws, and 7 losses on home territory. In this championship, Botafogo SP has secured just 2 points from a possible 12, managing 2 draws and 2 losses in their last four home matches.

The team has indeed struggled defensively, conceding goals in each of their last 8 matches in this competition. They have rarely opened the scoring, managing to do so in only 2 of their last 8 Serie B games; of these, they only maintained their lead at halftime once. In 8 matches this season, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have successfully turned the scoreboard around just once. Notably, in their last 11 home matches across all competitions, they have scored 4 of their 7 goals in the first 15 minutes, while conceding 4 of their 11 goals between 16-30 minutes and another 4 in the closing stages (76-90 minutes).

Botafogo SP is currently experiencing a challenging period in Serie B, with a performance that has fallen short of expectations. Their solitary home win keeps them lingering in the relegation zone. Defensive issues have heavily impacted their collective performance, while their attack also requires refinement, as chances created and goals scored have been lacking. With the pressure to secure a victory at home mounting, the team must exhibit greater proficiency on the pitch. The backing of the home crowd can certainly be beneficial, but it will only be enough if they show commitment and organisation during the match.
