There’s a good chance that Dragão seem likely to utilise a 4-4-2 formation, choosing Ronaldo, Bruno Tubarão, Pedro Henrique, Luiz Felipe, Guilherme Romão, Shaylon, Rhaldney, Gabriel Baralhas, Luiz Fernando, Alejo Cruz and Emiliano Rodríguez.

💡 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Botafogo are likely to get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.

However, Atlético Goianiense will be up against it to score a goal of their own but do we see them being dangerous for periods.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a decent 3-1 margin for Botafogo when the full-time whistle blows.
