Under 2.5 goals at Botafogo vs Atletico-MG 7/10 for Sunday’s Brazil Serie A showdown

Competition: Brazil Serie A

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 7/10 @ 888sport

In what could prove to be another low-scoring affair from Brazil’s Serie A this weekend, Botafogo will host Atletico-MG late on Sunday night.

Starting with the hosts, last seen putting in another toothless display, Botafogo are enduring what has been another public blip. In their 16 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded six wins, three draws and seven defeats, scoring 17 and conceding 21 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 21, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 10th in the table and seven points adrift of finding a route into the top-four. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 2-0 loss at home against America MG, Botafogo have lost four of their last five matchups across all formats. Likewise, along with managing to record just a single strike in any of their last five outings, it should also be highlighted that Sunday’s hosts have seen four of those five showdowns finish with under 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, watching their unbeaten run come to an abrupt end earlier in the week, Atletico-MG will be seeking an immediate response here. In their 16 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, seven draws and just two defeats, scoring 24 and conceding 17 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 28, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat fourth in the standings and holding a one-point buffer from dropping out of the top-four. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 2-0 loss against Flamengo on the road, that was the first defeat that Atletico-MG have suffered from their last 10 matchups across all formats. However, with Sunday’s guests seeing five of their last six contests finish with under 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
