1.79Tip and bets
"Ceara" is fighting for promotion, but is still outside the top four - today there is a real opportunity to equal the points of the main competitor. The "black and whites" will certainly take advantage of this opportunity - "Botafogo" is motivated, but is significantly inferior in class, and in face-to-face meetings "Ceara" has never lost to the "three colors", it makes sense to give preference to the guests.
We think that the hosts have no chance. The forecast is a victory for Ceara . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.09
Bet on total
"Ceará" will undoubtedly come for a win today and will probably attack with great force from the first minutes. It is unlikely that "Botafogo" has a real chance to play to zero in such a situation, the opponent is motivated, has an advantage in class and is in excellent shape. However, the "three-colored" score regularly at home, they are quite capable of responding with one goal.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.17
Bet on corners
Ceara are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the visitors should win confidently on corners.
