Prediction
Our thinking is that Botafogo-SP have enough to find the back of the net against this Sport Recife lineup, however that possibly won’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We reckon that it will be a 2-1 victory for Sport Recife at the end of this one. It’s a very tough call.
