Portuguesa RJ Botafogo betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This confrontation marks the meeting between two teams that live very different realities within Brazilian football. While Botafogo joins the national elite, coming from a great season in 2016, which guaranteed access to the Copa Libertadores, Portuguesa-RJ is only with the regional tournaments, having no national expressiveness. The team started the competition well but then had a very bad moment, and only now is a recovering. Still, its inferiority does not seem to allow a victory, even playing at home. Thus, it is a good option to bet on the tie, with favoritism for Botafogo.

Confirmed Lineup: Luciano, Amílton Belarmino, Diego Maia, Marcão, Rodrigo Almeida, Maicon Assis, Marcinho, Muniz, Allan, Romarinho, William Junior.
