Botafogo Vasco da Gama betting prediction

The home team is currently in the ª position of the league, with no points won yet, after 2 wins and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Macaé, by (3‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Resende, by (2‑1). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 1 draw and 12 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. Botafogo has won 6, tied 1 and lost 3 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 4 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 8 of their 17 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

The club is unable to maintain a good consistency within group A, occupying only 4th place with 6 points in 4 games played, which leaves the team needing victory in this round and still have to count on some favorable results to then integrate the qualification area for the final stage of the Guanabara Cup. The phase is good, as in the last 2 games, the "Rio black and white" won 2 consecutive victories, against Macaé by 3x1 and against Resende by 2x1, now against Vasco da Gama the squad plays with all their might to score their third consecutive victory and get in the fight for the vacancy.

Confirmed Lineup: Roberto Fernández, Guilherme Santos, Fernando Costanza, Kanu, Marcelo Benevenuto, Alex Santana, Rafael Navarro, Luis Henrique, Luiz Fernando, Thiaguinho, Bruno Nazário.
Coach: L. Ribeiro de Castro.
