Useful Betting Tips and Botafogo vs Fluminenses Prediction

Fluminenses to Win

The last direct confrontations between these two clubs have been very even, in fact in the last year they faced each other three times leaving a victory for each team and a draw.

After the last defeat of the home team against a theoretically weak opponent, the chances of them losing to one of their direct opponents increase. Our Botafogo vs Fluminense prediction is that The Flu will take advantage of their opponent’s poor form to win and possibly become the new Brasileirao leaders.

Fluminenses to Score First

The current tournament leader is used to being the opener, however, they will face a team that has not conceded a goal in their last 3 games and averages less than 1.00 goals conceded per game. Based on the two Botafogo vs Fluminense predictions, we expect the visitors to be the first to put the ball in the net.

Under 2.5 Goals

In four of The Flu’s last five games, we have seen less than 2.5 goals due to their great defensive performance. In fact, they have three consecutive games without scoring a goal.

The two teams already met this year in the Carioca tournament and there was only one goal. Taking these facts into account, we prefer that there will be few goals in this new h2h.

The Latest Botafogo vs Fluminenses Preview

Botafogo

Luis Castro’s side remains top of the Brasileirao despite their first defeat of the season. In the previous matchday, Botafogo visited Goias, a team that in theory seemed accessible due to their recent results.

Although The Lone Star opened the scoring as they had done in previous matches, they were unable to hold on to their lead and conceded two goals. Botafogo then played in the Copa do Brasil where they also lost, this time to Athletico Paranaense.

Fluminenses

The Flu have now gone five consecutive matches without losing, three of which were in the Brasilerao, where they took seven points from nine. Fernando Diniz’s side has improved a lot defensively, in fact they have not conceded a single goal in those last three games.

With their latest home win over Cuiaba, Fluminense are in third place with 13 points, just two behind the leaders. Niño and Ganso scored Flu’s two goals. Goalkeeper Fabio made two important saves to prevent Cuiaba from scoring. This was his second consecutive clean sheet and third in 6 league games.
