Cuiaba vs Botafogo Prediction and Betting Tips | July 3rd 2024

Cuiaba and Botafogo get round 14 of the Brasileiro Serie A underway when they square off at Arena Pantanal on Wednesday. The home side head into the midweek clash unbeaten in their last five matches and will look to maintain this solid run.

Cuiaba were involved in a share of the spoils for a third consecutive game as they played out a 1-1 draw with Red Bull Bragantino last Saturday.

Petit’s men have now gone five straight games without defeat, claiming two wins and three draws since a 2-1 loss against Cruzeiro on June 13.

With 13 points from 13 matches, Cuiaba are 14th in the Serie A standings, level on points with 13th-placed Criciuma.

Elsewhere, Botafogo were denied consecutive Serie A victories at the weekend as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Vasco da Gama at the Estadio São Januário.

This followed a 2-1 victory over Bragantino at the Estádio Nilton Santos on June 26 which saw the Lone Stars’ two-match winless run come to an end.

Botafogo have picked up seven wins and three draws from their 13 Serie A games to sit second in the table, three points behind first-placed Flamengo.
