Botafogo will be looking forward to returning to their Estádio Nilton Santos for this upcoming encounter against 2nd placed Flamengo on Wednesday night after being dealt a 2-0 defeat away from home at Internacional last time out in the Brazilian top flight.
Recent results overall have been a fairly mixed bag for Davide Ancelotti’s side as the hosts have managed to register just two wins in their last seven matches in Serie A while also being involved in two draws along with slipping to three losses.
Both wins were recorded on home soil against Atletico MG and Bahia respectively, while all three recent losses were dealt out to Botafogo on their travels, but the hosts possess a pretty reasonable looking home record of 7-4-2 24/13 overall this season.
Flamengo are not only situated in a strong position for a Copa Libertadores spot for next season but the visitors find themselves just three points behind the Serie A league leaders Palmeiras ahead of this upcoming encounter against Botafogo.
However, Filipe Luis’ side have also stumbled upon inconsistent results of late in the Brazilian top flight and beyond as Flamengo have managed to capture just one win from their last five games in all competitions.
That win came in the form of a 2-1 win away from home at 12th placed Corinthians but this recent sequence also includes being handed a defeat in the Copa Libertadores at Argentinian outfit Estudiantes, as well as a loss in the domestic Serie A away from home at Bahia which included two red cards.
The Betting Verdict
Botafogo possess a steady record on home soil and the hosts look to have a decent chance with the handicap here.
The Pick :
Botafogo 1-1 Flamengo
