Botafogo vs Santos: Goals Galore, Back Over 2.5 at 1.85

Fri, 17 Jul, 00:30 · Estadio Olimpico Nilton Santos

Tip wonFinal score: Botafogo RJ 21 Santos

Two squads bleeding goals and bursting with attacking intent collide in Round 19 of Serie A - both sides have scored in all 5 of their last 5 matches, and neither has managed to stay quiet. Botafogo arrive with 5 injuries in the squad but still posted 11 goals across their last 5 outings, going over 2.5 in 4 of them. Santos, meanwhile, hit over 2.5 in all 5 of their recent games, netting 13 times with both teams scoring in 3 of those 5. The only head-to-head on record ended 2-2, with both sides finding the net. The model puts the over 2.5 probability at 78%, and with bet365 offering 1.85 on that line, there's genuine edge here. Both teams are leaking goals while producing them freely - this is a game built for noise. Over 2.5 goals at 1.85 is the play.

Santos went over 2.5 goals in all 5 of their last 5 matches, scoring 13 times.Recent form · last 5 matches
