Prediction published on 26/05/2022, 23:11  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

Coritiba have been struggling in their recent matches, and will be hoping to get a more stable run starting with their next, as they play host to Botafogo in the Brazilian Serie A. The hosts go into this game placed eighth and with 10 points from seven games, while Botafogo have 12 points, in fifth place. Coritiba are coming from a 2-0 loss at the hands of Atletico Goianiense, their third defeat in four matches and the second time in three that they failed to score. They have one clean sheet in the last five matches, and have conceded two or more goals in four of their last five matches. At home, they’ve been in great form though; they haven’t lost at home in 12 matches, and in Serie A, they go into this game with three straight wins.

Botafogo haven’t lost to Coritiba in their last eight meetings. In fact, they’ve won each of their last three meetings, and kept clean sheets in the last two. A late Erison de Souza goal in the last game aided Botafogo hold América Mineiro to a 1-1 draw away from home, extending their undefeated run to eight matches. In the Serie A, Botafogo have suffered just one loss so far, and a win here could take them top. Their only loss this season in the league was inflicted by the league leaders Corinthians. That was in early April. They have improved since and haven’t lost any of their last six, winning three and drawing as many. The visitors haven’t lost any of their four away matches so far, and have scored in each one of them.
