Botafogo and Racing Club will meet in the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana final at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos. Can the home team overturn a two-goal deficit from the first leg? Here's our match prediction.
Botafogo comes into this match low in spirits after losing 1-0 on the road against Vasco da Gama on matchday 11 of the Campeonato Carioca. They finished ninth in the table and four points behind the semi-finals spot.
With confidence at an all-time low, Fogo now turns their attention to the Recopa Sudamericana final in a bid to lift the prestigious silverware for the first time in club history.
However, their chances of doing so appear slim, especially considering that they have to overturn a two-goal deficit inflicted on them in the first leg. They lost that match 2-0 against Racing Club away from home.
Racing Club made its first appearance in the Recopa Sudamericana final in 1989 - the same year the competition was founded. They lost 1-0 on aggregate against Uruguay's CD Nacional in a two-legged final.
After three decades, they are making their second final appearance in this competition—only this time—they find themselves in pole position of lifting the trophy for the first time in club history.
La Academia have a two-goal advantage against Botafogo from the first leg (2-0). A draw here will be enough to see them being crowned champions.

Our Botafogo vs Racing Club Avellaneda Prediction
This is a must-win for Botafogo and will need to do that by a big margin if they are to have any chance of lifting the trophy. Away from home, they have struggled in front of goal but that hasn't been the case when playing at home.
The hosts have failed to score in just one of their seven home matches across all competitions. Four of those games ended with over 2.5 goals and we expect a similar trend in this upcoming encounter, with the home team securing a narrow victory. Our Botafogo v Racing Club prediction: Over 2.5.
