Head-to-head statistics Avai - Botafogo

Avaí’s main weakness lies in their lack of attacking firepower.
Avaí drew 0-0 at home with Atlético Club in their last Série B match 18 October 2026. The scoreline stands out particularly against the shot difference of 25-3, including 6-1 on target.
Avaí are having a difficult season, having won just twice in their last ten matches, with six defeats and two draws. Their average of 0.6 goals scored during that period underlines how much they have struggled in attack. Over the season as a whole, the attack remains inconsistent - they are averaging just 0.97 goals per game while conceding 1.26. In their last five matches, Avaí have won twice, lost twice and drawn once, but none of those results have been enough to lift them out of the danger zone. Their league position demands maximum effort if they are to keep their survival hopes alive, yet their lack of goals remains their biggest problem.

Total Goals Prediction
Avaí have scored under 1.5 goals in 8 of their last 9 matches, which points to problems with their attacking output. Their average goals scored this season stands at just 0.97 per game, and over their last 10 matches that figure drops even further to 0.6. These numbers support a consistent low-scoring pattern for the hosts, and the bet on Avaí Team Total - Under 1.5 at 1.44* looks justified.
Corners Prediction
Avaí have had fewer than 5.5 corners in 7 of their last 8 matches, pointing to a consistent trend of low corner activity. The trend is supported by a recent sample, and a bet on Avaí Team Total Corners - Under 5.5 at odds of 1.63* looks logical.
Safer Bet
Avaí have gone unbeaten in 7 of their last 8 head-to-head meetings with Botafogo São Paulo, which points to a comfortable opponent for the hosts. This trend is backed up by a consistent run in the head-to-head record, and the Double Chance - Avaí not to lose at 1.29* looks reliable.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm, the most likely scorelines are 1-0 (14.7%), 1-1 (13.55%) and 0-0 (13.21%). The probabilities are fairly close, but an Avaí win by a single goal is given the highest chance. A 1-1 draw is second most likely, followed by a goalless result.
*Odds are indicative and may vary depending on the bookmaker.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Their league position forces Avaí to approach every match with maximum focus, but the statistics from recent months point to clear problems with chance creation and finishing: in 8 of their last 9 matches the team scored fewer than 1.5 goals, confirming a prolonged attacking slump that has persisted precisely under the pressure of the final rounds of the season. Even the urgent need to pick up points has so far produced no improvement in attack - the low scoring rate continues despite the motivation to fight for survival until the end of the championship. The main prediction is Avaí Team Total - Under 1.5.
