Botafogo
WWLDLL
Botafogo won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 1-0 Copa Libertadores defeat in their last game at the hands of Estudiantes de La Plata.
In that match, Botafogo managed 48% possession and 8 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Estudiantes de La Plata got 16 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Guido Carrillo (38') was the scorer for Estudiantes de La Plata.
Under three goals per match were seen in 5 of the last 6 meetings where Botafogo have taken part. In terms of the goal weighting from that period, their opponents scored an aggregate of 5 while Botafogo totted up 6. Historical results aside, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend will be maintained here in this match or not.
Capital DF
Capital DF will come into the clash following on from a 3-1 Copa do Brasil win against Porto Velho in their previous outing.
The only name on the scoresheet from Capital DF was Rikelmi (35'). Luan Viana (90') scored for Porto Velho.

Prediction
We feel that in this game, Botafogo should see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.
At the same time, Capital DF are also probably going to find it difficult to score although we do reckon that they could well end up managing to get on the scoresheet, too.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a decent 3-1 victory for Botafogo at the end of the match.
