Sao Paulo

Brazil

Current form

Before the start of the season, Sao Paulo was not among the main contenders for the championship title, but it definitely set itself the task of competing for a place in the top six. Luis Subeldia's team is playing a very weak start, having failed to score a single victory in three rounds – a 1-1 draw with Cruzeiro in the last match was the third in a row for the tricolours. In the Copa Libertadores, Sao Paulo started with a 1-0 away win over Talleres, and stumbled in the second round, losing points at home against Alianza (2-2) from Lima.

Disqualifications and injuries

Lucas Moura, Luis Gustavo, Oscar and Pabo Maia are injured.

Interesting betting trends

In the last five matches, Sao Paulo has not lost – a win and four draws.
In the last two matches, Sao Paulo has scored

Tip and bets

1.79Botafogo's victory

Botafogo has not been particularly impressive in the championship so far and will certainly strive to make the most of it today and move up the table. The hosts are quite capable of setting maximum goals for themselves – Sao Paulo demonstrates at the start of the season that it is still very far from the peak of its form. In addition, the tricolours are traditionally vulnerable away and in recent years have become a very convenient opponent for the victorious ones, not having a single victory in the last nine face–to-face meetings with them - it makes sense to give preference to the hosts.

We believe that the guests have no chance. The betting tip is a Botafogo victory. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.79

2.15Both will score

Bet on the total

Botafogo, without any doubt, will be determined only to win today and will certainly play as aggressively as possible ahead from the very first minutes. Sao Paulo does not have much reliability in defense, especially in away matches, and it will be very difficult to win back to zero in Rio de Janeiro. At the same time, Botafogo, to put it mildly, is not perfect at his own goal, the tricolor team has high-level players ahead and the goal of the guests will not become a big sensation, the victorious ones are regularly missed.

The bet is that both will score. This bet is offered for 2.15

Betting on corners

Botafogo will probably play number one at home and will spend a lot of time attacking – the hosts should win confidently on corners.

The bet is Botafogo's victory on the corners. This bet is offered for 1.61
