Atlético Mineiro Botafogo betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 19^th position of the league, with 20 points won, after 3 wins, 11 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against RB Bragantino, by (1‑2). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Fortaleza, by (1‑2). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 10 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 11 goals scored and 13 conceded; against 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 18 conceded. Their last away match for this competition ended in a loss by (1‑0) against Bahia. In the last 9 away league matches Botafogo has a record of 1 win, 6 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 9 points out of 27 possible. In their away matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 0‑0 (4 out of 9 matches) and after the 90' 1‑1 (4 out of 9 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 21 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Gradually, the championship is heading to its end and we can see where each club will go or what they will be playing for. In the case of Botafogo, the fight is against relegation and it seems that this will not change. The team is unable to engage and has made very weak performances. They need good results, but if they don't show growth they won't be able to achieve them.

Confirmed Lineup: Diego Cavalieri, Warley, Marcelo Benevenuto, Victor Luis, Marcinho, Rafael Forster, Kevin, Kanu, Carlos Renteria, Caio Alexandre, Pedro Raúl.
