2.75Tip and bets
Botafogo has a great opportunity today to increase the gap with Palmeiras, who unexpectedly lost their match in the 32nd round. The hosts will probably be as aggressive as possible in the lead in an attempt to win, and the visitors have minimal chances to keep a clean sheet. At the same time, Vasco da Gama, after two victories in a row, has a chance to get closer to the top six and will also clearly take risks – the derby could well be productive.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.05
Bet on the outcome
Botafogo are in excellent shape, play their home games at a very high level and will be incredibly motivated today – a win could seriously increase their chances of winning the championship title. Vasco da Gama, although they won their last two matches, are extremely unstable and regularly make mistakes in defense, Botafogo are capable of taking the maximum against such an opponent.
