Santos FC desperately need points on Wednesday, Dec 2 at 4:00 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Santos FC come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Botafogo FR, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

In 10 previous meetings, Santos FC lead 4–2 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

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