Expected score: Botafogo SP 1-0 Londrina
Botafogo SPDrawLondrina
Botafogo SP hosts Londrina at Estadio Santa Cruz in Serie B's 37th round, with the hosts seeking to consolidate their mid-table position against a struggling visitor. Botafogo sit 12th on 48 points, while Londrina occupy 18th with 32 points—a six-place gap that reflects the quality difference between the sides this season.
Team form
Botafogo SP
Botafogo have shown real attacking intent in recent weeks. They won 2-1 away at America Mineiro on 1 April and demolished Fortaleza 4-0 at home on 21 March, scoring 9 goals across their last five matches. That run includes victories over Guarani Campinas and Palmeiras in the Paulista competition. Their season average of 1.14 goals scored and 1.08 conceded suggests a balanced outfit, though they have conceded 39 goals across 36 games—a concern in a league where consistency matters.
Londrina
Londrina's campaign has been difficult. They drew 2-2 at home against Goias on 1 April and won 3-1 away at Novorizontino on 22 March, but their underlying numbers tell a harsher story. They have scored only 45 goals in 36 matches (1.25 per game) while conceding 54 (1.50 per game)—the worst defensive record of the two teams by a significant margin. Over their last five outings they managed 7 goals but shipped 4, and they sit in the bottom three of the standings.
Head-to-head
The head-to-head record shows Botafogo with the edge. They won 2-1 away in 2023 and 2-0 at home in 2019, though three of the five meetings have ended level, including a 0-0 draw between the sides on 18 July this year. Londrina have not beaten Botafogo in their recent encounters.
Key factors
Botafogo's attacking form and home advantage are decisive factors. Londrina's leaky defence—conceding 1.50 per game—will be tested by a Botafogo side that has scored freely in recent weeks. The visitors' poor away record and defensive fragility suggest they will struggle to contain the hosts. Botafogo's 4-5-1 formation allows them width and midfield control, while Londrina's 4-2-3-1 is built more for defensive stability, a luxury they cannot afford given their league position. The tactical mismatch favours the home side.
Prediction
Botafogo are the favourite. They have superior form, a stronger league position, and the home advantage at Estadio Santa Cruz. Londrina's defensive vulnerabilities and recent struggles make them vulnerable to conceding early and often. The hosts should create the clearer chances and control possession. While Londrina showed they can score—notably their 3-1 win at Novorizontino—their inconsistency and defensive frailty point to a Botafogo victory. The bookmakers price the home win at 1.76, reflecting the underlying quality gap.
Back Botafogo to win. The hosts are the favourite and have the tactical and form advantage. Londrina's defensive record and league position suggest they will find it difficult to leave Ribeirao Preto with a result. A home win is the most likely outcome.
