Botafogo São Paulo betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 16^th position of the league, with 29 points won, after 8 wins, 8 draws and 10 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against América Mineiro, by (1‑0). In the last match, they won in an away match against Vitória, by (3‑4). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 2 draws and 11 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 31 conceded; against 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 12 conceded. In the last 10 home league matches Botafogo has a record of 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 19 points out of 30 possible. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (6 out of 12 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 26 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 12 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 8 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Botafogo conquered its only title of the Brazilian Serie A Championship in 1995, as well as having conquered the 2015 Brazilian Serie B title and a runner-up in the 1999 Brazilian Cup. In the current season, the team has been doing a very irregular campaign, winning only 32 of the 78 points played so far, thus occupying the twelfth position of the national championship, four points in front of the relegation zone and still a long way from the qualifying zone for the Copa Libertadores. The team has a somewhat irregular performance in the home matches, but usually makes games with several goals, since in eight of the twelve games it played at home were scored more than 1.5 goals. We believe that Botafogo will do another game with several goals, where it will certainly be leaked due to the quality of the opponent.

Confirmed Lineup: Saulo, Marcinho, Moisés, Igor Rabello, Joel Carli, Jean, Gustavo Bochecha, Rodrigo Lindoso, Kieza, Luiz Fernando, Erik.
