Botafogo Santos betting prediction

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 1 win, 2 draws and 12 losses in away matches, with 5 goals scored and 27 conceded; against 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 12 conceded. They come to this match after a home draw against Bangu by (1‑1). Botafogo has won 7, tied 2 and lost 1 of the last 10 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 9 of the last 21 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 13 out of 21 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 2. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 20 home matches for all competitions: they have suffered 7 of their 17 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Botafogo have been leaving a lot to be desired in the Brazilian championship and, proof of that, is that they will start the round in the relegation zone. Changes need to happen, because otherwise they can struggle during the competition. The team need to play with more confidence and have more disposition on the pitch. In addition, they should know when to act and seek the best ways to act. If they apply this in the next round, they can win, otherwise it won't be a surprise if they stumble.

Confirmed Lineup: Roberto Fernández, Kanu, Fernando Costanza, Victor Luis, Marcelo Benevenuto, Caio Alexandre, Rhuan, Salomon Kalou, Carlos Renteria, Matheus Babi, Davi Machado dos Santos Araújo.
