Betting on Botafogo
Under Luis Castro’s guidance, the local team has enjoyed an excellent start to the Brasileirao, winning all four of their matches so far and accumulating 12 points, putting them in first place. Last Sunday, they defeated Atlético Mineiro 2-0 at home, with goals from Victor Sá and Matheus Nascimento.
Another player who has shone in this early stage of the tournament is Tiquinho Soares, who is currently Botafogo’s top scorer and one of the leading scorers in the competition with three goals in four games. It’s worth noting that this team is the only one to have earned three points in all of their matches.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Lucas Perri; Leonel Di Placido, Victor Cuesta, Adryelson, Hugo; Marlon Freitas, Gabriel Pires, Lucas Fernandes; Victor Sá, Tiquinho Soares, Matheus Nascimento.
Betting on Corinthians
The team from São Paulo is currently facing some challenges. After winning their debut match, they lost their next two games before their fourth-round match against Fortaleza on Monday.
Under Vanderlei Luxemburgo’s guidance, they have registered only three points in the competition so far. In addition to their Brasileirao campaign, they are also competing in the Copa Libertadores, where they have earned six points out of nine, and the Copa do Brasil, where they have already secured a spot in the round of 16.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Cássio; Du Queiroz, Murillo, Gil, Gil, Matheus Bidu; Fausto Vera, Roni; Adson, Ángel Romero, Róger Guedes; Yuri Alberto.
JefeBet Prediction
An exciting match between two of the most traditional clubs in Brazilian soccer, although they are currently experiencing quite different present situations. Botafogo is much better off coming into this match due to their excellent start to the campaign, being the only team with a perfect record.
They face a Corinthians side that needs to improve their performance and, above all, their consistency in the game. Perhaps it will be an intense and well-contested match, although goals may not necessarily abound. At JefeBet, we believe that the home team will be able to come out on top, thus maintaining their unbeaten run in this thrilling Brasileirao.
Prediction: Botafogo Moneyline (BOT 2-0 COR).
