Brazil Serie A: Fortaleza vs Botafogo 09/08/2025

Betting on Asian Hendicap

Fortaleza is considered one of Brazil’s most successful projects in recent years. This season, however, despite keeping their core, they have been underperforming and are fighting to avoid relegation. Recent improved displays suggest they can succeed in this goal.

Botafogo’s form has been inconsistent since the coaching change, and they are burdened by a busy schedule. They will essentially field a rotated side, missing most of their usual starters for various reasons — at least nine confirmed absences compared to recent games.

Fortaleza enjoys huge home support, which has been key in past seasons and is again crucial in their fight for safety. They look improved lately and are capable of exploiting the visitors’ serious squad problems.
