Botafogo SP desperately need points on Saturday, Oct 10 at 5:00 PM in the Serie B. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Botafogo SP come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Ceara, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Botafogo SP a slight edge, but Ceara are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
