🏟 Estádio Governador Plácido Castelo · Fortaleza
🏁 Post-match review
Botafogo SP claimed a surprise 1-0 victory away at Ceará in the Brasileirão Série B, despite the hosts being considered the stronger side heading into the match. It was a clean sheet and a fully deserved three points on the road for the visitors.
Expectation：This was an upset. The pre-match market strongly favoured Ceará (50.7% implied probability) with Botafogo SP given just a 20.9% chance of winning, making this a notable away victory against the odds.
A significant result for Botafogo SP, who earned a valuable win on the road against one of the division's more fancied sides. For Ceará, a home defeat to a lower-fancied opponent will be a concern and a missed opportunity to collect points on their own turf.
