In the previous h2h game, just around a week ago, Botafogo won 2:0 at Estadio Olimpico Nilton Santos. Looking further back, we could see that Botafogo were a much more successful team, winning seven times, while Bragantino won just once. When it comes to goals, these teams mostly played low-scoring matches, as we saw fewer than three goals in six out of ten games (60%).
Red Bull Bragantino team overview
Red Bull Bragantino came to this season after a terrible one in Serie A, finishing 16th, barely escaping relegation. But this season, the popular Braga Boys opened the season great, and it looked like we would see a much better year from them. However, they are slowing down as the season progresses. Including the cup loss, they have now lost five straight. However, they are still in 6th place in Serie A with 27 points from 18 rounds, but have to start winning points.
Unfortunately for coach Fernando Seabra, the team has injury problems. In the last game against Atletico MG,
Agustin Sant'Anna and Vinicinho both suffered injuries and will miss the upcoming game. That is a massive problem, especially if we take into account that nine players are already injured.

Botafogo team overview
Botafogo had a magnificent last season, winning both the Serie A and Copa Libertadores! This year, the "Estrela Solitária" are doing well in the Copa Libertadores, reaching the knockout phase, but aren't as successful in Serie A. Right now, they sit at 7th place with 26 points - 11 points away from the top spot. As it stands now, it seems that their best chance of securing a trophy will be through the cup competitions.
The bookies heavily trust them to reach the next stage of the competition after winning the first leg 2:0. The odds on Botafogo reaching the Quarter Finals are at 1.05!

Prediction
Red Bull Bragantino are in terrible form, having lost five in a row. During that five-game stretch, they scored only three goals - 0.6 per game. That is almost half of their goal per game average this year. So, expecting a good offensive performance at this moment is unreal.
Meanwhile, Botafogo have been absolutely great for this type of bet as the last nine games ended with fewer than three goals. They are generally a really good defensive team, which is the main reason for the constant low-scoring games. After winning the first leg 2:0, we believe they will slow the pace of the game, which could result in another low-scoring game.
Considering the result from the first leg and all the above, an under 2.5 goals bet seems like the best option for this Copa do Brasil tie.
3 Reasons why we should see fewer than three goals
- Red Bull Bragantino scored three goals in the last five games - 0.6 per game
- Botafogo went under 2.5 goals in the previous nine games
- Botafogo won the first leg 2:0
Main prediction -
Under 2.5 goals
