Botafogo vs Defensa y Justicia Prediction & Betting Tips - Copa Sudamericana
by Joseph King | in Football Predictions
The quarter-final of the Copa Sudamericana continues with Brasileirão Série A leaders Botafogo taking on Argentinian side Defensa y Justicia for the first leg. The winner of this tie will go on to face either Ecuadorian side LDU Quito or Brazilian club São Paulo in the semi-final. Botafogo are slightly behind São Paulo as the bookmakers favorites to lift the cup coming into this round. They’ve never made it past the quarter-finals in this competition, with their previous best finish coming in the 2008/09 campaign where they lost to Cerro Porteño.
It’s been a fantastic season for Botafogo who have built up an impressive 11 point lead over Palmeiras in the Brazilian top flight. Fogo were able to secure a goalless draw in the return leg of the round of 16 to secure a 2-1 aggregate victory over Guarani. Their most recent outing resulted in a hard-fought, evenly contested 0-0 draw with fellow quarter-finalists São Paulo in the Brasileirão. The draw means that Botafogo have now extended their unbeaten run to an incredible 17 matches across all competitions.
Defensa y Justicia recently finished sixth in the Argentina Primera Division first phase, ending up only two points behind third-place. It was a very solid season for the Hawks who will now look to replicate their run in 2020 which saw them crowned champions of this competition. Defensa will come into this fixture well-rested as their last competitive match took place on August 8th. They were able to overcome Ecuadorian side Emelec in the round of 16 after winning both legs to progress with a 3-1 aggregate score. Their most recent outing was the home leg of their tie against Emelec in which Defensa ran out 1-0 winners. The Argentinian side is clearly gaining steam as they have now won four of their last five across all competitions. Additionally, Defensa y Justicia have lost only once in their last 10.
