Botafogo RJ is winless over the last five games, scoring just two goals, including a 1-0 loss to #14-ranked Fluminense. A year ago, they ranked #15 in the 20-team Brazillian Serie A League because of an offense that scored 31 goals in 38 matches, tied for the fourth-fewest. They are also winless in their last five road games, tallying just one goal. They head to Fortaleza, a team off a pair of losses to two of the Top 10 teams in the league. However, they are home for this one and come off a good season, ranking ninth in the league standings while scoring 50 goals (sixth-best). Fortaleza won the last meeting between these teams, 1-0, so back the home that is hungry for a win. Back Fortaleza on the moneyline.
