Cuiaba vs Botafogo SP Betting Tips - Cuiaba to Win
Cuiabá will be aiming to return to winning ways when they host Botafogo SP in Tuesday evening’s Serie B clash.
Sitting fifth in the table, eight points clear of their 16th-placed visitors, Cuiabá have a clear opportunity to widen that gap and strengthen their push for promotion.
After a decent spell of form, the hosts return to action after suffering back-to-back road defeats against Grêmio Novorizontino and Coritiba in the past couple of weeks. Guto Ferreira's side had enjoyed a three-game winning run before their recent setbacks on their travels.
Much stronger in home fixtures, Cuiaba claimed victory in four of their last five matches at Arena Pantanal, and they could well add to that tally against a Botafogo side that has struggled in recent away matches.
Márcio Zanardi's men make the trip to the Arena Pantanal after slipping to defeat in four of their last six road contests. Botafogo have struggled to make much impact in recent months, with nine defeats suffered in their last 16 matches. The Pantera won just three of those fixtures.
The Dourado picked up victories in three of their last five encounters against Botafogo SP, and considering recent results, a similar outcome seems likely on Tuesday.
A home win is my best bet at Arena Pantanal.
