2.69Tip and bets
Estudiantes will definitely try to make the most of it at home – a second home defeat in a row in such fierce competition could be fatal. Despite their poor form, the lions are quite capable of proving themselves in attack – Botafogo has not yet entered the season and is particularly weak in playing away matches. At the same time, the motivation of the guests will also go through the roof, there is a risk of letting the competitors go into a serious gap and remain without a playoff - an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The betting tip is that both will score. Such a bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.15
Betting on the outcome
Botafogo is having a very difficult time entering the new season and has not yet impressed either in the Copa Libertadores or in the Brazilian championship. The victorious ones are especially weak at away games – a series of eight matches without victories outside their native walls speaks for itself. In such a situation, Estudiantes has a real opportunity to compete for all three points, hold the second line and break away from the main competitor by three points – in the last two home matches, the lions beat Botafogo, they can extend the series, while the Brazilians are still very far from peak form.
The bet is Estudiantes' victory. This bet is offered for 2.17
Betting on corners
Estudiantes will obviously play from a position of strength at home and have the advantage – there is no doubt that the hosts will win from the corners.
