Corinthians vs Botafogo RJ Prediction & Betting tips
The Botafogo FR will be on Sunday (02.07.) At 20:00 CET the most difficult away game of the season. The opponent is none other than SC Corinthians Paulista, who leads the Campeonato Brasileiro da Serie A – the first Brazilian football league – after the tenth day of the game. Also in the upcoming game, Corinthians will leave no doubt, defend the table top and in the best case to extend the lead. Betting on Botafogo seems therefore to be recommended only for optimists.
Corinthians :
The Corinthians Paulista sport club is one of the most successful Brazilian football clubs with a total of six championships, the two successes at the FIFA Club World Cup and the Copa Libertadores win. The last big success came with winning the championship only two years ago. Last year, however, the Sao Paulo team failed to build on their pre-season performance and ended up finishing seventh. This season, Fabio Carrilo’s team has made a lot of progress, with his team remaining undefeated, with an 8-2-0 record and twenty-six points.
In the last five games, Corinthians knew quite well with one exception. Against Kellerkind Coritiba FC were only a tired and goalless draw away, in which a defeat would have been justified. The Carrilo elite, however, solved the remaining duties compulsively. On the last weekend the duel with Gremio Porto Alegre took the lead. They were able to defend Corinthians with a narrow 1-0 loss, although Gremio had a much greater goal danger and the better goal chances worked out. But also a dirty victory belongs to the business, which in our opinion should not be necessary in the upcoming game. The individual class of Corinthians should be the decisive factor in the home game against Botafogo for a positive game.
Botafogo RJ :
The Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas is one of the four major football clubs in Rio de Janeiro. The splendor of this tradition association, however, has been very long since. In the last few years, Botafogo has been mainly in the middle of the season, so the fifth place from last season is already a small success. In the current season the team of coach Jair Ventura with a 4-3-3 record and fifteen points in the seventh place. With a victory against Corinthians, the third place would theoretically be, because the backlog is currently only two points.
Botafogo still seems to be looking for its own form. From the last five games, the Ventura team won two points and two draws at least eight points. The defeat of the last weekend was certainly not planned, because the team from Rio de Janeiro was the clear favorite in the home game against the table penultimate Avai FC. When looking at the statistics, it remains to be seen that Botafogo wanted to meet the favorite status. Ultimately, however, the guests were clearly more effective in the exploitation of opportunities. Despite a 13: 3 goal, the score was 0-2. Against Corinthians Botafogo will certainly not make the game and lurk on counterterrorism. Whether this is enough, we dare to doubt.
