- Competition: Brazil - Serie A
- Date: 26th June 2024
- Kickoff: 23:00 UTC +1
- Venue: Olympic Stadium
Two sides separated by just one place and two points in Brazil's top flight meet on Wednesday night as Botafogo play host to RB Bragantino.
Botafogo ended up finishing fifth in 2023 despite a blistering start and that could well happen again this season. Artur Jorge's side had the chance to go third in the standings when they traveled to Criciúma, Santa Catarina for their match against Criciuma last weekend. The Lone Stars suffered a defeat and conceded two goals for the first time in ten matches.
Red Bull Bragantino currently occupy the same spot they finished last season at. The visitors had a flying start to the 2024 campaign, going unbeaten for the first five games, but they just couldn't maintain that consistency. Pedro Caixinha's have won two and lost two of their last four league encounters and shipped averagely two goals a game in that spell.
Betting Tips Botafogo vs Red Bull Bragantino: Both teams to score
Botafogo can be good in defence on their day, but I have not seen any of that lately. The hosts shipped two goals against a Criciuma side nine places behind them in the standings and are without a clean sheet in their last three encounters.
Red Bull Bragantino's recent games have been highlighted with plenty of entertainment. Each of the last three games of Pedro Caixinha's side have produced over 2.5 goals and bets on btts - yes were won in as many games.
- Best Tipp: BTTS - yes
- Botafogo vs Red Bull Bragantino prediction: 2-1
