Fluminense Botafogo betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is the occurrence of some goals. The two teams are characterized by somewhat fragile defenses that leave many spaces, but their attacks have been corresponding and scoring goals regularly. Fluminense have the best attack of the league with 6 goals in 3 games, while Botafogo scored 4 goals and have one of the competition's offensive highlights, striker Eric who has been playing very well game after game. Given these factors, we believe in a game with great offensive volume, several opportunities and at least 2 goals on the scoreboard.
