Santos and Botafogo meet for matchday 11 of the Brasileiro Serie A season. Peixe come into this fixture sitting 18th in the standings with just six points while Fogo find themselves in 11th on 12 points. Let’s get into the match prediction!
It’s been a slow start for Santos in their return to the top flight following their shock relegation in 2023. With six defeats already in their 10 league matches, the eight-time champions will find themselves in another relegation scrap if they don’t start putting points on the board fast.
The good news is that they were able to respond with three points in their most recent Brasileiro match, a 1-0 away victory over Vitoria. The result ended a seven-game winless run across all competitions for the historic Sao Paulo based side, who are now two points from safety in the still young season.
Botafogo, who made history last year by becoming only the fourth ever Brazilian team to clinch the league and Copa Libertadores double, face a significant challenge if they are to hold on to either of those titles this season.
They’re coming off a 1-0 home win in the Libertadores in their last match, a crucial three points which saw them successfully qualify for the knockout stages. It snapped a two-game winless run and improved their overall form to four wins, one draw and only one defeat in their last six overall.

Our Santos vs Botafogo Prediction
While Botafogo have been free-scoring at home, they’ve yet to find the net on the road. Meanwhile, Santos have been struggling with their attack and find themselves tied for the second-lowest goals tally in the division at just eight.
The Fogo defense has been doing its part with three clean sheets in their last five while Santos has conceded only a single goal in their last four. At the current price, we believe there’s value in backing this to finish either 0-0, 1-0 or 2-0 to either side. Our Santos vs Botafogo prediction is under 2.5 + BTTS: No.
