Botafogo vs Vitória Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

The Full-Time Result odds of -167 suggest that Botafogo are likely victors and there’s a 63% probability that the favourites win this Série A clash. If you want to wager on the underdog, Vitória have been priced up at +475.

Botafogo -0.75 at -130 means you split your Asian Handicap stake between -0.5 and -1. You ideally want a win by two goals or more against Vitória, although a one-goal victory means a half-stake return and a refund with the other half.

The Total Goals market could be a toss-up considering that Under and Over 2.5 Goals are available at similar odds. For Both Teams to Score betting opportunities, the market suggests that BTTS Yes and No are both equally as likely to happen.

The best football betting sites definitely give customers lots of choice. When it comes to Série A matches, choose from hundreds of markets until you find the most attractive odds.
