Tip and bets

2.75handicap (-1) on Santos

Santos is currently second in the table and will certainly fight for victory in the championship, and in general the "fish" have not yet guaranteed themselves a place in the top four. It is obvious that in such a situation the guests have no right to make a mistake and only a victory will satisfy them today. Botafogo looked confident in the last home matches, but the difference in class is too great, it will be almost impossible to get points against such an opponent.

We think that the hosts have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on Santos . This bet is offered with odds of 2.75
