Match Preview:
A cagey affair is anticipated when Botafogo hosts Ceará in what promises to be a low-scoring Série A clash. Both teams find themselves level on 15 points after 10 games, sitting 9th and 10th respectively, highlighting their similar starts to the season.

Botafogo comes into this game on the back of two consecutive home victories, including a recent 1-0 away win against Santos. Their defensive solidity has been a key factor, with the Under 2.5 goals market not being covered in 8 of their last 10 games. Ceará, despite a recent 1-0 loss to Atlético Mineiro, also demonstrates a strong defensive record, with the Under 2.5 line not being surpassed in their last six outings.

The head-to-head record further supports the expectation of a tight match, with four draws in their last six encounters, including a 1-1 stalemate in their most recent meeting. Given the defensive strengths and recent trends of both sides, goals are likely to be at a premium.

Match Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals
