BTTS

BEST ODDS
Our pick: Bookmakers offer average 1.65 (implied 60.7%) for Both Teams to Score. Our experts calculate a 63.2% probability (an expert ratio of 1.58). We chose this bet because our experts rate it more likely than the bookmaker price implies (63.2% vs 60.7%), driven by both attacks scoring freely while both defences look leaky. That edge makes it our most confident selection for this match.

Match Preview

The model favours Botafogo to win against Gremio, projecting a scoreline of 2-1. Currently sitting in 13th place, Botafogo has accumulated 30 points from 24 matches, winning 8 and losing 10. Despite a recent downturn in form, with only one win in their last five matches, they have shown the ability to score, netting 37 goals this season. Their goal difference of -3 indicates that while they have struggled defensively, they can find the back of the net. Gremio, positioned just behind in 15th with 28 points, has had a similar season with 7 wins and 10 losses. Their recent form shows a slight edge with two wins in their last five matches. However, with only 27 goals scored and a goal difference of -5, Gremio’s attack has been less effective than Botafogo’s. This could be a crucial factor as they face a team that has been able to score more frequently. The model indicates a win probability of 55% for Botafogo, with the projected score of 2-1 reflecting their superior scoring ability this season. One caveat to consider is Botafogo's inconsistent form, which could lead to an unexpected result if they fail to convert chances. For a deeper understanding of this prediction, please refer to the "How We Reached This Prediction" section, where The Daily Punt Analysis Team outlines their in-house model based on expected goals and actual results across the season.

The Daily Punt Analysis Team

Data-driven football predictions and betting tips

This forecast was built by the The Daily Punt Analysis Team using our in-house statistical model. We feed the model two layers of data for every fixture: each team's recent expected goals (xG and xGA) and their actual goals scored and conceded, split by home and away venue. The numbers run through a Poisson distribution that produces a probability for every possible scoreline, which we then convert into fair odds for the 1X2, correct score, BTTS, and over/under markets.

Before publishing, we cross-check our fair odds against the prices the major bookmakers are offering. Where a bookmaker is paying out more than our model says is mathematically fair, we flag that market as a value bet on this page.
