Botafogo RJ vs Corinthians Prediction

Botafogo RJ Form

Botafogo RJ are unbeaten in their last three matches, first beating Vasco da Gama 0-2, and then drawing 0-0 with Vitoria. They were back as winners when they defeated Sport Recife 0-1. Botafogo RJ managed a strong return of four wins from their previous six matches on home soil in the Serie A, where they also drew twice and lost none. They scored 13 goals and conceded four times.

Botafogo RJ are among the title candidates in the Serie A again this season, and first place is still within reach.

Corinthians Form

It is all or nothing with Corinthians, who only triumphed once in their previous three outings. They were defeated 1-2 against Red Bull Bragantino, before beating Ceara 0-1. Unable to build on that, they lost 2-0 against Sao Paulo. Corinthians only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Serie A. In these six matches they drew two and lost three as well as being outscored by nine goals to three.

Corinthians were spoken of as contenders for a title, but current form has them running a little behind in the Serie A.

Botafogo RJ, as well as Corinthians, have been keeping things tight in recent matches with goals few and far between. This suggests a close encounter shy on goals is on the cards on Saturday.

Corinthians took two points from their last seven games against teams from the top half of the Serie A table. They won zero, scored three goals and conceded 13. Botafogo RJ claimed seven wins, four draws as well as three defeats in the Serie A this season. Corinthians have a record of five wins, four draws and six defeats in the Serie A.
