The Brazilian Serie A returns after taking a break during the World Cup, and among the matches lined up, Botafogo host Santos. Both teams sit outside the continental football slots, Botafogo two points adrift and Santos three. Santos are yet to win away in the league, while Botafogo only won three of seven at home, pointing us to a likely draw in this prediction.

When these sides last met, Botafogo twice led but were pegged back to a 2-2 result. That was the third draw in the last four meetings between the teams.

A similar outcome in this encounter will still be an improvement for Botafogo, who lost 2-1 to Bahia last time out.

Santos had made big steps towards escaping the lower reaches in the league standings before the month-long break. They had beaten Vitoria 3-1 to move a point above the relegation zone.

The visitors had lost their earlier two matches, and inconsistency will be another of their battles. Santos have also not done superbly on the road, and this will be another test for them as they look to break Botafogo’s unbeaten streak in this fixture.

This season, they haven’t won away from home in Serie A, and across all competitions, only one win has been posted in 10 games.

Our Botafogo vs Santos Prediction

Botafogo are unbeaten in their last five matches against Santos. They will be keen on extending the same here, though with some improvement, as three ended in draws. Both teams are expected to be a bit rusty after staying out of competitive action for over a month.

Such form is what makes us feel the two sides could share the spoils here. The last time they met, this fixture ended 2-2, another of the most common results in this encounter lately. Four times in the last six meetings hosted by Botafogo ended in draws. Our prediction for Botafogo v Santos is for a draw.
